Does temperature affect an enzyme reaction?

Answer 1

yes of course ..

Many of the enzymes in our bodies work best at body temperature. At significantly lower temperatures the substrate molecules do not have enough kinetic energy for the reaction to take place even in the presence of the enzyme. At body temperatures significantly higher than normal, the enzyme will not work well because the kinetic energy from the molecules in the solution containing the enzyme is so high, that the enzyme's shape is pulled apart to he point that the enzyme is not able to properly function.

Indeed the enzyme's structure may be so disrupted or denatured hat the enzyme molecule cannot return to its original shape. Indeed the danger of high fevers stems in large part from the potential damage to enzymes and other proteins from the high temperature

Potato extract has an enzyme called catalase which causes H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) to break down into H2O and O2. The way this enzyme is measured is by determing the volume of O2 produced. Do this using different temperatures and a filtered extract of blended potatoes. Help in links.

Answer 6

Enzyme reactions are chemical reactions. And chemists have a "rule of thumb" that says, at the temperatures normally encountered, reaction rate approximately doubles for each 10 deg.C increase in temp.

Answer 7

Sure does. In humans, most enzymes work at their optimum at around 37 C. If it is too cold, the movement of the molecules slow down and they don't work as fast, and if it is too hot (such as 40 C or so) the enzymes will denature (break apart).

Answer 8

Yes, an increase in temperature generally causes an increase in the rate of the reaction. This is true until the reaction reaches its Vmax, or the temperature gets so hot that the proteins begin to degrade.

Answer 9

in high tempratures they break..clutter like eggs....cause enzymes are like protien...

Answer 10

very much so. each has an optimum temp to get optimum speed
