Science

Which consequence results when a high-energy collision compromises an enzyme's active site in a closed biochemical reactor?

A)Equilibrium favors product formation readily
B)Rate constants change dynamically to compensate
C)Enzyme catalytic activity sharply decreases
D)Inhibitors quickly prevent further degradation

💡 Explanation

An enzyme’s active site disruption disables proper substrate binding; thus, decreased catalytic activity occurs because the tertiary structure is destroyed via denaturing. Therefore the reaction rate lowers rather than speeding up or being maintained.
