The optimal PH for most enzymes is near neutrality, in the range of 6-8. Outside this range normal chemical functioning of cells may be impaired. This was from my text book but since water is not a reactant and is normal for pretty much every one of the enzymes functions, i would assume that it has no effect by itself, but can have an effect paired up reactants, and energy sources.

∙ 16y agoNo. An enzyme is a PROTEIN that catalyses a reaction. Water is not a protein.

What enzyme breaks down water and minerals in digestion?
It is the digestive enzyme which controls acid reflux within the arterial body tissue, Your body absorbs the water which it then will evacuate.
What term is used to describe a test tube with water instead of an enzyme?
A solvent.
What is an anhydrase?
A chemical compound formed from another, often an acid, by the removal of water.
An example of an enzyme?
Protein
Would an enzyme from one of your body cells be able to function in a place as hot as a hot spring?
Most likely an enzyme from one of your body cells would NOT be able to function in a place as hot as a hot spring because the enzyme would get denatured. denaturization can occur when enzymes are put to extreme temperatures. Since the enzyme is used to your body temp. it is a huge increase to put the enzyme in almost boiling water.
Which protein complex in the electron transport chain after photosystem 2 produces ATP?
the water-splitting enzyme
What is Hydrophilic Enzyme?
An enzyme that likes water, due to the fact that the enzyme is a polar molecule. Much like the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid bylayer.
Use of water in pcr?
enzyme cofactor
Is H2O an enzyme?
Yes they are soluble in water.
What enzyme breaks down water and minerals in digestion?
It is the digestive enzyme which controls acid reflux within the arterial body tissue, Your body absorbs the water which it then will evacuate.
Raw material for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water with the enzyme chlorophyll
Is water a substrate?
A substrate is the substance in which an enzyme act, or a process occurs. For example lactose is a substrate, but water is not.
What term is used to describe a test tube with water instead of an enzyme?
A solvent.
Is the enzyme activity same at 5 and 25 Centigrade temperature in water?
The specific activity of an enzyme at a specific temperature will be dependent on both the temperature the enzyme is operating at as well as the concentrations of the substrates (the starting materials of the reaction that the enzyme catalyzes) and products (the end materials of the reaction) present around the enzyme. However, as a general rule, the activity of an enzyme will be different at at 5 centigrade than it will be at 25 centigrade.
Which enzyme in tears kills germs?
Your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme. This enzyme acts by disrupting the cell-walls of gram-positive bacteria by digesting the peptidoglycan in them, thereby preventing infection. This enzyme is also found in your saliva and is an example of a non-specific immune response.
A change in the rate of enzyme action in aquatic invertebrates would most directly result from a change in what?
temperature of the water
What is an anhydrase?
A chemical compound formed from another, often an acid, by the removal of water.
