enzymes require specific temperature and pH in order to work properly. Otherwise, the temperature or pH change their conformation or disable their ability to bind the substrate because the required electrostatic interactions might not happen under different pH.

What 4 things affect the ways enzymes work?
specificity, temp, ph, inhibitors
What are the two environmental factors that effect the function of enzymes?
tempeture,ph, solute concentration and salt content
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
How pH effects Stability and Activity of Enzymes?
Enzymes are very pH-sensitive. Any change in pH results in denaturing of proteins.
What is the effect of excess heat or pH on an enzyme?
it can change the shape of enzymes & active site so the enzyme is unable to work
What is the optional pH enzymes function at?
Human ones @ 7.4 (neutral at body temp).
What 4 things affect the ways enzymes work?
specificity, temp, ph, inhibitors
What effect enzymes activity?
Temperature, pH, substrate concentration
What are four things that can affect the way enzymes work?
pH, temperature, concentration of enzyme, substrate concentration, etc
How does pH levels effect an enzyme?
All enxymes work at an optimum pH. Changes in pH levels could change the rate at which the enzymes work by denaturing them.
Are pH level and enzymes related?
Most enzymes only work in a certain pH range; pH is not dependent on the presence of enzymes, however.
What effect has pH on enzymes?
too high or too low pH denatures the enzymes. you will get a small reaction with a base or acid. neutral pH level maximizes reactions
What are the two environmental factors that effect the function of enzymes?
tempeture,ph, solute concentration and salt content
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
How pH effects Stability and Activity of Enzymes?
Enzymes are very pH-sensitive. Any change in pH results in denaturing of proteins.
Can enzymes work over a broad range of PH levels?
Most enzymes work best at a certain pH, however there are some enzymes that can operate over a broad pH range.
What is the effect of excess heat or pH on an enzyme?
it can change the shape of enzymes & active site so the enzyme is unable to work
