The answer is: denaturation.

Explanation:

  • Denaturation refers to the process where an enzyme loses its natural shape due to external factors such as changes in temperature, pH, or exposure to chemicals. This alteration in shape can affect the enzyme's active site, rendering it non-functional or less effective in catalyzing reactions.
  • Other potential terms like "mutation" or "inhibition" do not specifically refer to changes in enzyme shape. Mutation involves changes in the DNA sequence, and inhibition refers to the reduction of enzyme activity by inhibitors, which may not necessarily involve a change in shape.
