Which consequence results when Luciferase's active site is denatured by heat?

A)ATP production rate will exponentially improve
B)Bioluminescence intensity is thereby decreased
C)Substrate specificity permanently is altered
D)Enzyme activation energy correspondingly decreases

💡 Explanation

Reduced bioluminescence occurs due to enzymatic denaturing destroying the luciferase active site structure, disrupting its function; because the active site interaction isn't available with luciferin therefore electron transfer to light emission can't occur either via bioluminescence, rather than improved outcomes, under specific conditions.
