Which outcome occurs to the reaction rate when an enzyme successfully binds to the transition state?

A)Increased reaction rate due stabilization✓

B)Decreased reaction rate via inhibition

C)Unaffected reaction rate of substrate

D)Reversed process increasing activation energy

💡 Explanation

The increased reaction rate occurs due to enzyme binding which stabilizes the transition state by lowering the activation energy via acid-base catalysis. Therefore, the uncatalyzed reaction does not happen rather than other scenarios.
