← ScienceWhich outcome decreases catalytic activity when enzyme orbitals distort?
A)Substrate binding weakens significantly✓
B)Active site residue stability boosts
C)Product release energy decreases
D)Enzyme refolding becomes thermodynamically neutral
💡 Explanation
Decreased catalytic activity results in substrate binding affinity decreasing because orbital distortion prevents optimal substrate-enzyme interactions, weakening the transition state stabilization, therefore weakening substrate binding rather than altering residue stability because other factors do not directly govern residue interactions.
