Question

What would happen if the active site of an enzyme had a different shape?
A) Nothing would change
B) The process would happen in reverse

Accepted Answer

The active site of an enzyme is specifically shaped to bind to its substrate. If the shape changes, the substrate may not fit, rendering the enzyme non-functional.
