The rate of enzyme action decreases at higher temperature [after a certain value] because the increased heat
1. changes the pH of the system
2. alters the active site of the enzyme
3. neutralizes the acids and bases in the system
4. increases the concentration of the enzyme

A non-competitive inhibitor of an enzyme catalyzed reaction
1. binds to the Michaelis complex (ES).
2. increases Vmax.
3. is without effect at saturating substrate concentrations.

A change in an amino acid located distantly from the active site of an enzyme can affect the specificity of the enzyme towards its substrate by:

1. making the enzyme unstable
2. cause a relocation of the enzyme within a cell
3. changing the shape of the protein
4. changing the optimum pH and temperature values for the enzyme
