← ScienceWhich outcome results from enzymatic catalysts encountering competitive inhibition?
A)Reduced reaction velocity observed constantly✓
B)Increased substrate binding site affinity
C)Higher catalytic efficiency attained
D)Changes to catalyst's tertiary structure
💡 Explanation
Reduced reaction velocity occurs in competitive inhibition because the inhibitor directly competes with the substrate for the enzyme's active site. Therefore, the reaction rate decreases rather than increasing efficiency; this occurs under enzymatic lock-and-key models.
