Which change results when stabilizing enzymes reduce Kcat in industrial biocatalysis?

💡 Explanation

Reduced Kcat, the turnover number, means a decreased rate of product formation. This occurs because the enzyme completes fewer catalytic cycles per unit time, therefore the turnover rate drops rather than other thermodynamic parameters changing.
