← ScienceWhich 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.
