← ScienceWhich consequence results when a lipase enzyme loses conformational stability?
A)Decreased reaction activation energy
B)Increased substrate binding affinity
C)Protein structural unfolding occurs✓
D)Accelerated enzyme-substrate complex formation
💡 Explanation
Protein structural unfolding reduces catalytic activity because the active site changes shape via protein denaturation, therefore the substrate interaction decreases, hindering catalysis rather than the opposite effect with increased activity because it affects structure rather than reaction energy.
