Which outcome occurs when industrial enzymes exceed saturation limits under high molecular substrate?

A)Enzyme active site conformational change
B)Reaction turnover rate plateaus
C)Enzyme denaturation accelerates rapidly
D)Product inhibition becomes thermodynamically dominant

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate plateaus because the mechanism, Michaelis-Menten kinetics, reaches its maximum velocity when the active sites are fully occupied; therefore further increase in substrate does not increase throughput, rather than causing structural change or inhibition.
