← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when an enzyme unfolds completely?
A)Active site loses function✓
B)Substrate binding strengthens
C)Reaction rate increases sharply
D)Enzyme becomes more thermostable
💡 Explanation
The active site loses function because unfolding disrupts the protein's tertiary structure via denaturation, a change in the "function" form affecting the enzyme's catalytic ability therefore substrate affinity decreases rather than strengthens under stress, and activity diminishes.
