← ScienceWhich consequence results when high substrate inhibits the Michaelis-Menten reaction rate?
A)Enzyme active site distortion✓
B)Product formation immediately ceases
C)Increased reverse reaction rate
D)Changes substrate-level phosphorylation
💡 Explanation
Product catalysis by distortion of the active site through substrate excess causes substrate inhibition; because the enzyme cannot optimally bind, product formation slows, therefore active distortion will occur rather than direct product reduction.
