Answer:

If the shape of an enzyme changes then the enzyme will no longer be able to perform its function.

Enzymes can be described as bio-catalysts which usually speed up a chemical reaction. Each enzyme has a particular substrate which fits into the active site of the enzyme. Every enzyme needs a particular temperature and pH for its functioning. If the shape of an enzyme changes, then it will no longer be able to perform its function and will become denatured.
