Practice problem
Why would an enzyme denaturation be a problem?
Denaturation causes a shape change in the enzyme, meaning the enzyme's active site will no longer have the right shape for the substrate.
Denaturation causes a shape change in the enzyme, meaning the enzyme will be a better fit for the substrate.
Denaturation changes enzymes so that they now increase the activation energy of reactions.
Enzymes don't denature. Only substrates denature.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
