Denaturing an enzyme slows down a reaction because it changes the active site shape, preventing enzyme-substrate complex formation.
La desnaturalización de una enzima ralentiza la reacción porque cambia la forma del sitio activo, impidiendo la formación de complejos enzima-sustrato.
| Front | Why does denaturing an enzyme slow down a reaction? |
|---|---|
| Back | - active site shape changes - no longer complementary to substrate - ES complexes can't form |
