← ScienceWhich outcome fundamentally alters reaction rate during enzyme inhibition?
A)Enzyme-substrate complex concentration greatly decreases✓
B)Reaction enthalpy increases towards endothermic
C)Product disassociation equilibrium favors reactants
D)Solvent viscosity prevents efficient diffusion
💡 Explanation
Enzyme inhibition reduces available enzyme, therefore the Michaelis-Menten kinetics show a decrease in the enzymatic saturation. This is because fewer enzyme-substrate complexes will form, rather than enthalpy changes or diffusion because binding affinity diminishes.
