15Enzymes Enzyme KineticsMedium1 mark
A mutation occurred within the DNA sequence coding for an enzyme, causing a decrease in the rate of a reaction catalysed by this mutated enzyme. Which statements could explain the decrease in the rate of reaction?
  1. 1
    An inhibitor for this enzyme has an increased affinity for the enzyme and forms an enzyme–inhibitor complex more easily.
  2. 2
    The active site of the enzyme might have changed shape and so is less complementary.
  3. 3
    The activation energy for the reaction with the mutated enzyme is greater than with the non-mutated enzyme.
