ENZYMES!

?
How does pH affect enzymes?
They work best at the optimum pH. Otherwise, their shape is permanently modified; they denature

How does temperature affect enzymes?
They work best at optimum temp. Otherwise, their shape alters and they denature.

What is meant when enzymes denature?
The shape of their active site changes
3 of 6
Why is denaturing a problem?
The substrate no longer fits in the modified active site; no reaction can take place
