With a lot of heat, the enzyme will be denatured meaning it will lose its shape and therefore its function.
it can change the shape of enzymes & active site so the enzyme is unable to work
pH and Temperature both impact the enzyme's function.
When an enzyme is saturated the amount of substrate added no longer as an effect on the rate of the reaction.

The major thing that has an effect on an enzyme is heat. If the enzyme is exposed to a large amount of heat than it denatures, which means that it is no longer functional. Enzymes work at their best at an OPTIMUM range, that is at about 30-35 degrees Celsius. The enzyme will denature at about 47-50 degrees Celsius.
To a certain point, heat will increase enzyme activity because more collisions will be taking place between the enzyme and substrates. However, if there is too much heat, an enzyme can denature (change its shape) and inactivate. This is caused because the increase in heat disrupts the bonds in the tertiary structure of the enzyme. Due to the disruption of bonds, the enzyme can no longer interact with the substrates.

Heat would make most enzymes unnecessary as added heat would allow (many) reaction to achieve activation energy without the need of a helping enzyme. In a biological system most enzymes are proteins and as heat denatures proteins the effect would be to destroy their functionality.
