Optimal Temperature:

  • Typically, as the temperature rises, enzyme activity increases because warmer temperatures cause more effective collisions between enzyme and substrate.
  • If the temperature rises beyond a certain point, enzyme activity eventually levels out and then declines rapidly because the enzyme is denatured.
  • An enzyme’s shape changes during denaturation, and then it can no longer bind its substrate(s) efficiently
