You modify the primary sequence of an enzyme in a region that will be the active site when the protein is properly folded. What is the predicted outcome of this change?
A) The enzyme will not bind to the substrate properly.
B) The enzyme will not be able to bind an allosteric inhibitor.
C) The enzyme will have an increased rate of activity.
D) There will be no change in the enzyme's function.
E) The enzyme will bind the substrate but not be able to release the products.
