It depends on the type of enzyme and where that enzyme is located. For example, an average enzyme in the human body prefers 98.6 degrees F plus or minus a few degrees depending on where the enzyme is in the body.
It is interesting to note that a high fever is fatal to the human body because the temperature of the body gets too high and the enzyme begins to unravel. Therefore their function stops and, without that function, the human body will begin to shut down leading to possible death.
Other enzymes function in completely different temperatures. For example, extremophiles are organisms that live in extreme conditions (hence the name) ranging from about 0 degrees Fahrenheit to upwards of about 180 degrees F. Obviously they need their enzymes to function at these temperatures extreme temperatures and therefore these temperatures are their optimum temperature.

Optimum temperature of polyphenoloxidase?
The optimum temperature for the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is 40 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature at which the enzyme is most effective; like many other enzymes the rate of reaction will decrease with temperature, but if the temperature rises much above the optimum level, it will cause the enzymes to denature. Denatured enzymes will stay denatured even if the temperature decreases again. The optimum pH for polyphenol oxidase is 5.
How are enzymes influenced by temperature increases or decreases?
For temperatures lower than its optimum, enzymes become inactive. This can be undone by bringing them back to optimum temperature. For temperatures higher than their optimum they are denatured and can no longer function even at optimum temperature.
What are the optimum temperature and the optimum pH of an enzyme?
The optimum temperature and pH of an enzyme vary depending on the enzyme. Generally, enzymes have an optimum temperature around body temperature (37°C) and an optimum pH around neutral (pH 7). However, these values can differ significantly for different enzymes based on their specific structure and function.
What can a fever slow down?
enzymes best function at optimum temperature for human body optimum temperature is 37 C, raise in optimum temperature affects the function of enzymes and with very high temperature enzyme activity ceases. high temperature also affects proteins resulting in protein structural changes. fever slow down the enzyme activity.
How may enzymes be deactivated?
high temperature may denature enzyme activity by passing optimum temperature
Why is the optimum temperature for many enzymes controlled reactions about 40 degrees of centigrade?
The optimum temperature for many enzymes is around 40 degrees Celsius because that is the temperature at which the enzyme's activity is highest. At this temperature, the enzyme's structure is optimal for binding to substrates and catalyzing reactions efficiently. Temperatures above or below this optimum can cause denaturation of the enzyme, leading to a loss of activity.
What are three optimum procedures which increase the relative rate of an enzymes performance?
Temperature, pH and time
At what temperature do human enzymes work best at?
Enzymes in the human body work best at human body temperature, so about 35-40 degrees (Celsius). A lower temperature would have too low of an effect to be able to sustain life, and a higher temperature causes the enzyme to denature (unravel) and be rendered ineffective.
At which temperature do most enzymes from the human body become completely denature?
i did an experiment in school on enzymes in plants and the optimum temperature for enzymes in a plant it seemed to be at around 40 degrees Celsius so anything above 40 the enzymes denature, but you might have to take into account what fruit it is / where it came from - if its a tropical fruit it might have a higher optimum temperature because of the climate it came from- that's just an idea
What is the optimum temperature of enzymes of thermophilic bacteria?
The optimum temperature for enzymes of thermophilic bacteria is typically around 70-80°C. These enzymes have evolved to function best at high temperatures, allowing the bacteria to thrive in extreme environments such as hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
How are conditions made suitable for enzymes?
Optimum temperature and pH medium make suitable conditions for enzymatic reactions.
How does temperature affects activity?
The enzyme activity increases as the temperature rises due to the substrates colliding with the enzymes' active sites more frequently at higher temperatures. However, each enzyme has an optimum temperature as high temperatures denature enzymes.
