Which outcome occurs when an enzyme catalyst within a biological system experiences significant denaturation?

💡 Explanation

Denaturation alters the enzyme's active site via conformational change, changing shape during induced fit. This reduces substrate binding efficiency because the substrate can no longer properly bind, therefore enzymatic activity declines rather than other kinetic parameters changing.
