Which outcome occurs when an enzyme reaches saturation?

💡 Explanation

When substrate concentration sufficiently increases, all enzyme active sites get occupied; therefore, the reaction rate reaches its maximum value (Vmax) as substrate concentration increases utilizing zero-order kinetics, rather than unlimited progression because *enzyme saturation* limits throughput.
