Yes, temperature does affect the activity of enzymes. If the temperature increases too much, the enzyme can denature (unfold) itself which will move key amino acids necessary for enzymatic function away from each other, preventing enzymatic activity.

How does temperature change the affect of peroxidase enzymes?
Higher temperatures will inactivate peroxidase. The amount of inactivation is relative to the temperature.
What conditions affects the function of enzymes?
The activity of an enzyme is affected by temperature, pH and the concentration of the substrate.
What factors affect the activity of enzymes?
Enzymes work best in the pH and temperature that they are " designed " for. A pepsin enzyme works best in the low pH environment of the stomach, while amylase works best at mouth temperature and ~ 7 pH. Heat and out of range pH can denature enzymes and not only affect their activity but inactivate them.
What determines the effectiveness of enzymes?
The temperature in which the enzymes are effects the effectiveness of enzymes. Enzymes work best at a temperature of 37 which is the body temperature.
What are four things that can affect the way enzymes work?
pH, temperature, concentration of enzyme, substrate concentration, etc
What are two things that can affect the enzymes shape?
Salt concentration and the pH! also the temperature and activations and inhibitors affect an enzymes actions
What factors affect an enzymes operation the most?
temperature and pH
How does temperature affect the rate of fermentation?
Alcoholic fermentation involves the actions of enzymes. Enzymes function properly within their optimal temperature range. An increase or decrease in temperature can denature the enzymes, causing them not to function.
What two factors affect an enzymes operation the most?
temperature and pH

What factors that will affect enzymes speed?
there are three factors, but i only know 2: pH temperature
What determines the effectiveness of enzymes?
The temperature in which the enzymes are effects the effectiveness of enzymes. Enzymes work best at a temperature of 37 which is the body temperature.
What affect does temperature have on cellular enzyme activity?
Enzymes generally work within a given temperature range. As the temperature is increased the activity will increase. However if the optimum temperature is surpassed, the enzymes will stop working.
How does freezing temperature affect mocroorganisms and enzymes?
Freezing temperature make ice of the water in bacteria and completely stop there metabolic activity. Enzymes do not work at freezing temperature as they have no scope for movement in solid ice. So there activity halted.
How does temperature and pH affect enzymes?
By simply afecting the bonds ( hbonds . ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions )
