How come the exact same elements arranged in a slightly different shape produces two different things?

It is actually, that's literally how all enzymes, receptors, etc. work.

The complexity of electrochemical reactions in biological processes is nothing like a simple "key-hole" model, despite what your 3rd grade life sciences text book told you.

I bet you're one of those midwits who gets buttmad when someone calls proteins nanomachines. "Uh, acktchually promiscuity makes that an inaccurate comparison." Man shut the FUCK up.

That isn't even a chiral molecule, though. That's just 2 completely different sugars lol.

It is though.

Seems to me like you could use reading these 3rd grade texbooks yourself.

It's the way their parts interact with others as building blocks.

Imagine if you didn't have just cubic lego, imagine if you had triangular pieces, flexible pieces, magnetic pieces, and you were tasked to build a mat. Depending on the pieces the mat would be more brittle, it could compress, could be stickier in comparison to other mats you can make.

lock-and-key model is close enough to be useful
sure, the enzymes technically change shape and can end up with different geometries while substrate is binding/bound.

electrochemistry is something else, anon.

The phosphated forms of glucose and fructose can isomerize when in the presence of the right enzyme; look at glycolysis. The difference is obvious when you look at the Fischer projection of the open forms.

In all seriousness, it is a product of how something’s structure determines the nature of how it relates to itself and its environment over time.
