When an enzyme is misshapen, it is referred to as being "denatured." Denaturation can occur due to various factors, such as changes in temperature, pH, or exposure to chemicals, which disrupt the enzyme's normal structure. This alteration affects the enzyme's active site, impairing its ability to bind to substrates and perform its catalytic function effectively.
