← ScienceWhich consequence results when increasing temperature beyond optimal in enzymatic assays?
A)Loss of kinetic constant reliability✓
B)Increased substrate binding efficiency
C)Equilibrium shifts toward products linearly
D)Decreased activation energy requirement drastically
💡 Explanation
Above optimal temperatures, enzyme denaturation occurs leading to a loss of enzyme activity; Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) can no longer be reliably measured because the enzyme's structure is compromised, therefore, kinetic data is unreliable, rather than enhanced substrate binding occurring.
