For almost five decades, two competing mechanisms of ligand recognition – conformational selection and induced-fit - have dominated our interpretation of ligand binding in biological macromolecules. When binding/dissociation events are fast compared to conformational transitions, the rate of approach to equilibrium, kobs, becomes diagnostic of conformational selection or induced-fit based on whether it decreases or increases with the ligand concentration, [L]. However, this simple conclusion based on the rapid-equilibrium approximation is not valid in general. Here we show that conformational selection is associated with a rich repertoire of kinetic properties, with kobs decreasing or increasing with [L] depending on the relative magnitude of the rate of ligand dissociation, koff, and the rate of conformational isomerization, kr. We prove that, even for the simplest two-step mechanism of ligand binding, a decrease of kobs with [L] is unequivocal evidence of conformational selection, but an increase of kobs with [L] is not unequivocal evidence of induced-fit. Ligand binding to glucokinase, thrombin and its precursor prethrombin-2 are used as relevant examples. We conclude that conformational selection as a mechanism for ligand binding to its target may be far more common than currently believed.
