← ScienceWhich risk prominently increases when a catalyst reaches its saturation point?
A)Reaction rate approaches a limit✓
B)Catalyst binding affinity greatly increases
C)Inhibition pathways become more effective
D)Available active site concentration increases
💡 Explanation
Product formation stagnates because active sites become fully occupied, where ‘enzyme saturation’ limits the reaction rate, therefore the maximum rate is approached rather than other processes being enhanced or active sites freeing up.
