← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when industrial enzymes exceed saturation limits under high molecular substrate?
A)Enzyme active site conformational change
B)Reaction turnover rate plateaus✓
C)Enzyme denaturation accelerates rapidly
D)Product inhibition becomes thermodynamically dominant
💡 Explanation
The reaction rate plateaus because the mechanism, Michaelis-Menten kinetics, reaches its maximum velocity when the active sites are fully occupied; therefore further increase in substrate does not increase throughput, rather than causing structural change or inhibition.
