Which consequence would result when manipulating enzyme active site proximity?

A)Lowered temperature denatures its quaternary structure
B)The Michaelis constant Km is affected
C)The equilibrium favors product formation overall
D)Increased cofactor affinity decreases total activity

💡 Explanation

Changing the active site proximity affects substrate binding because the enzyme-substrate complex formation alters as a function of active site efficiency, and therefore changes the Michaelis constant Km, rather than affecting denaturation or equilibrium directly.
