How does temperature affect the molecular structure of catalase?

Answer 1

Temperature: In general, chemical reactions speed up as the temperature is raised. When the temperature increases, more of the reacting molecules have the kinetic energy required to undergo the reaction. Enzyme catalyzed reactions also tend to go faster with increasing temperature until a temperature optimum is reached. Above this value the conformation of the enzyme molecule is disrupted. Changing the conformation of the enzyme results in less efficient binding of the substrate. Temperatures above 40-50°C denature many enzymes
