When the enzyme hexokinase binds to glucose and ATP it undergoes a conformational change. All of the following are true about this enzyme-substrate binding EXCEPT: The active site changes shape so that it binds more tightly to the substrates The substrates are optimally positioned for the reaction to occur The substrates become contorted or strained, which increases their reactivity The activation energy of the reaction increases

An inactive form of an enzyme becomes active after being phosphorylated. When glucose is converted to glucose-6-phosphate by hexokinase, the accumulation of glucose-6-phosphate inhibits the reaction. A foreign substance is added to the reaction above. This substance binds to hexokinase and prevents its ability to catalyze the reaction.
