← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when excess energy input overwhelms the inhibitor in an enzymatic pathway?
A)Feedback inhibition will be enhanced
B)Enzyme denaturation becomes more likely✓
C)Substrate affinity will sharply increase
D)Pathway flux undergoes no change
💡 Explanation
Enzyme denaturation occurs because the excess energy disrupts the protein's tertiary structure, exceeding its stability threshold. Therefore, enzyme functionality is lost due to unfolding, rather than through targeted inhibition, which would require regulatory molecules.
