Examine the graph below. When substrate concentration reaches a very high level, any increase in substrate does not impact the initial reaction rate. Why? Substrate concentration The enzymes are all saturated with substrate at high concentration Enzymes are depolymerized through interactions with substrate Enzymes become denatured at this substrate concentration The substrates are all converted to product The enzymes are all denatured due to the chemical reaction
