Temperature affect-Action of enzymes

How does temperature affect the action of enzymes upon their substrates?

E

Expert

Verified

There are defined temperature ranges under which enzymes operate and there is a specific temperature level (optimum temperature) in which enzymes has maximum efficiency. Therefore temperature variations influence enzymatic activity and the speed of reactions they catalyze. Additionally, as proteins, enzymes can be denatured under tremendous temperatures.
