Which consequence results when a catalyst impurity impacts enzyme kinetics?

💡 Explanation

Contaminant binding increases the enzyme's energy barrier via Induced fit distortion, inhibiting the catalysis mechanism, because substrate access is impaired. Therefore, higher activation energy is needed, rather than substrate modification increasing reaction speed.
