Which change results when stabilizing enzymes reduce Kcat in industrial biocatalysis?

A)Activation energy will be increased
B)Substrate binding will be stronger
C)Turnover rate will be decreased
D)Reaction enthalpy will be lowered

💡 Explanation

Reduced Kcat, the turnover number, means a decreased rate of product formation. This occurs because the enzyme completes fewer catalytic cycles per unit time, therefore the turnover rate drops rather than other thermodynamic parameters changing.
