← ScienceWhich outcome is observed when an inhibitor stabilizes enzyme?
A)Equilibrium shifts toward enzyme-substrate binding✓
B)Rate increases due to conformational change
C)Inhibitor promotes enzyme denaturation directly
D)Activation barrier of catalysis decreases slowly
💡 Explanation
Equilibrium shifts toward more substrate binding because the **equilibrium favors binding** the more stable form. Therefore the equilibrium favors reactants, rather than a faster change or modified activation barriers.
