Which consequence results when an enzyme's active site denatures?

💡 Explanation

Substrate binding is dependent on the active site's shape; when denatured, the enzyme's active site distortion via molecular motion prevents efficient substrate binding, weakening enzyme-substrate interactions. Therefore, the rate is impacted because the decreased binding affinity reduces reaction completion, rather than increasing affinity or leaving activation energy constant.
