Which outcome occurs when high concentrations inhibit catalyst binding?

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate plateaus because high concentrations block active sites via Competitive Inhibition, impeding substrate binding and thus slowing the overall rate-limiting step. Therefore, we observe a plateau in reaction rate rather than any other thermodynamic or energetic impacts from the blocked active site.
