← ScienceWhich outcome results when an enzyme is deactivated?
A)Substrate affinity will therefore decrease✓
B)Reaction equilibrium point changes slightly
C)Activation energy level is further lowered
D)Inhibitor molecule oxidization accelerates significantly
💡 Explanation
When an enzyme is deactivated, the active site is disrupted, and therefore the binding affinity between the enzyme and substrate decreases because the enzyme mediated lock-and-key mechanism is no longer effective, rather than impacting reaction equilibrium.
