What occurs to a denatured enzyme about its functionality? How can that answer be described with the aid of the lock and key model?

According to the lock and key model the enzyme functionality based completely on the integrity of an activation center, a molecular area with particular spatial characteristics. Subsequent to the denaturation the spatial conformation of the protein is altered, the activation center is ruined and the enzyme loses its catalytic activity.
