← ScienceWhich consequence results when kcat/Km ratio approaches infinity?
A)Enzyme reaches catalytic perfection✓
B)Substrate forms crystalline structures
C)Binding affinity reaches minimum
D)Inhibition constant rapidly increases
💡 Explanation
A ratio approaching infinity demonstrates the enzyme's efficiency; the reaction becomes limited solely by the rate of encounter, also known as kinetic perfection because the catalytic rate is maximized. Therefore, the enzyme exhibits optimal performance, rather than being limited by binding or substrate availability.
