If a protein undergoes a conformational change in an enzyme's active site, which consequence follows regarding its binding affinity?

💡 Explanation

A conformational change involves spatial rearrangement because it alters the enzyme's shape and charge distribution; therefore, the binding affinity may either increase or decrease depending on how the change affects the interaction with the substrate, rather than predictably increasing or decreasing.
