← ScienceWhich risk increases when salt bridge bonds are disrupted in enzymatic catalysis?
A)Higher activation-energy barrier✓
B)Increased substrate binding affinity
C)Decreased product release rate
D)Enhanced enzyme conformational stability
💡 Explanation
Disrupting salt bridge bonds destabilizes the enzyme's active site; as a result the activation energy goes higher because optimal substrate orientation is compromised. Therefore, more energy will be required for the reaction, rather than faster product release at unchanged activation energies.
