Which outcome occurs to the rate constants of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction within a bioreactor if the temperature exceeds its tolerance?

💡 Explanation

Elevated bioreactor temperatures cause enzyme denaturalization because *thermal denaturation* disrupts the enzyme's active site, therefore reaction rate constants severely diminish rather than increasing linearly or impacting equilibria with temperature changes below this denaturing threshold.
