← ScienceWhich consequence results when a catalytic constant is exceeded in enzyme kinetics?
A)Enzyme saturation occurs, impacting rate✓
B)Inhibition of enzyme complex formation
C)A shift favoring reactant concentrations
D)Increased enzyme activation energy observed
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the saturation kinetics alters the reaction rate, therefore the turnover number is affected rather than leading to inhibition because reaction rates at maximal enzyme levels become constrained; thus activation energy is unchanged.
