8.2.3.2 Effect of temperature
The rise in temperature accelerates the rate of enzyme reaction but at the same time causes in activation of the enzyme due to denaturation. At optimum temperature the activity of enzyme is maximum. It is around 40ºC. If is the temperature is lowered the rate of an enzyme reaction is decreased. At OºC, most enzymes are practically inactive. |
