Which consequence results when enzyme conformational change is inhibited?

💡 Explanation

Enzyme conformational change is essential for induced fit, and reduced flexibility hinders the lock-and-key *mechanism* and effective binding; therefore substrate affinity decreases, rather than options B/C pertaining equilibrium. Option D also involves related allosteric effects.
