Optimization of activity by decreasing substrate affinity in psychrophilic enzymes. Reaction profile for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction with Gibbs energy changes under saturating substrate concentration. Weak substrate binding (in blue) decreases the activation energy (ΔG#psychro) and thereby increases the reaction rate. In this scheme, the energy levels of E + S and of ES# are assumed to be similar [10].
