Which outcome results when an unoptimized enzymatic catalyst suffers substrate inhibition?

💡 Explanation

Substrate inhibition reduces activity because excess substrate blocks the active site, hindering product formation; therefore, the reaction decelerates sharply, rather than shifting equilibrium, changing the active site, or causing catalyst degradation via denaturation.
