Which consequence results when a catalytic constant is exceeded in enzyme kinetics?

A)Enzyme saturation occurs, impacting rate
B)Inhibition of enzyme complex formation
C)A shift favoring reactant concentrations
D)Increased enzyme activation energy observed

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the saturation kinetics alters the reaction rate, therefore the turnover number is affected rather than leading to inhibition because reaction rates at maximal enzyme levels become constrained; thus activation energy is unchanged.
