Which outcome occurs when an enzyme's active site conformation changes in a biochemical pathway?

💡 Explanation

A conformational change disrupts the enzyme-substrate complex, therefore *enzyme inhibition* results because the active site's optimal fit is distorted, rather than enhancing binding affinity or directly reducing activation energy.
