A low temperature can slow down enzyme activity and high temperatures can denature an enzyme making it unusable. pH levels also affect enzyme activity. Every cell has an ideal temperature and pH
There are a number of factors that can influence how efficiently a certain enzyme can catalyse a reaction: the amount of substrate present, whether there are chemicals present that inhibit enzymes by either binding to their active site or cofactor site, the amount of enzymes present...
Some environmental enzyme factors include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and presence of inhibitors or activators. These factors can affect enzyme activity by altering the enzyme's structure or its ability to bind to the substrate. Temperature and pH are particularly critical as they can denature enzymes if not within the optimal range.
called inhibitors. Inhibitors disrupt the enzyme's ability to bind with its substrate, hindering its catalytic activity.
Non-protein compounds called co-factors are required for some proteins in order to facilitate enzymatic activity. Common examples of co-factors are metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+ etc.), organic co-factors such as heme (in hemoglobin), among others.
An enzyme marker is a specific enzyme that is used as an indicator for the presence or activity of a particular substance or process in a biological system. It can be detected by measuring the enzymatic activity it catalyzes, providing valuable information about the function and status of cells or tissues.

Factors affecting enzyme activity1: Enzyme concentrationIf the quantity of enzyme is doubled, the enzymatic activity will also be doubled because more enzymes are now available to work. After a certain level of enzyme concentration, there will be no more increase in the enzymatic activity because all the substrate molecules are combined with an enzyme and the rate of reaction will stabilize.2: Substrate concentrationBy increasing substrate concentration, enzymatic activity increases. Increasing the substrate further without increasing the enzyme concentration will not affect the enzymatic activity because all the enzymes are occupied by a substrate molecule.3: pH valueSome enzymes require acidic surroundings, most require a more neutral condition for their activity. Change in the pH can change the enzyme's structure and enzyme become useless.4: TemperatureAn increase in temperature of 10 degree celsius doubles the enzymatic activity. Each enzyme has its own optimum temperature at which its enzymatic activity is maximum. Very high temperatures break the bonds that maintain shape of enzyme. If the enzyme denatures, the substrate can not fit in to the active sites and enzyme become useless.
called inhibitors. Inhibitors disrupt the enzyme's ability to bind with its substrate, hindering its catalytic activity.
Several factors can influence enzyme function, including temperature, pH level, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. Changes in these factors can affect the enzyme's ability to bind to its substrate and catalyze reactions effectively.

One is cofactor A.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a poisonous byproduct of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2).
At a high ion concentration, the ion interfere with the bonds between the side groups of the amino acids making up the enzyme (which is a protein). This causes the enzyme to lose its shape, called denaturation. If the enzyme loses its shape, it can no longer accept and react substrate, so the rate of enzyme activity decreases.
Factors that could impact the function of an enzyme include temperature, pH levels, substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, presence of inhibitors or activators, and cofactors or coenzymes. These factors can alter the enzyme's structure, affecting its ability to bind to substrates and catalyze reactions efficiently.
Non-protein compounds called co-factors are required for some proteins in order to facilitate enzymatic activity. Common examples of co-factors are metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+ etc.), organic co-factors such as heme (in hemoglobin), among others.
