← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when catalytic inhibitors bind strongly?
A)Enzyme's Michaelis constant (Km) diminishes
B)Equilibrium constant (K) of reaction changes
C)Reaction rates decrease dramatically✓
D)Activation energy of reactants increases
💡 Explanation
When catalytic inhibitors bind tightly, they impede the enzymatic activity slowing down reaction rates dramatically because they block active sites; therefore reaction rates decrease, rather than equilibrium constant changing without affecting kinetics.
