← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an enzyme catalyst within a biological system experiences significant denaturation?
A)Reduced substrate binding efficiency✓
B)Increased reaction equilibrium constant
C)Enhanced product formation kinetics
D)Uncontrolled chain reaction propagation
💡 Explanation
Denaturation alters the enzyme's active site via conformational change, changing shape during induced fit. This reduces substrate binding efficiency because the substrate can no longer properly bind, therefore enzymatic activity declines rather than other kinetic parameters changing.
