Enzymes function optimally at a patricular temperature and pH. If the temperature is decreased or increased, the enzyme will not function as effectively. The enzyme is most active only at a patricular temperature and pH. Hence, these two factors are very important for enzyme action.
If you change the pH, the enzyme can become inactive and won't be able anymore to forfill its function.
It will affect the shape and lead to reduced activity.
enzymes are proteins. when you denature a enzyme you destroy the protein structure/shape. it happens a couple of ways; 1) temperature (they have a 'optimum temperature') at certain temperatures enzymes are denatured 2) Ph, again, they have a 'optimum pH at which they work best, and certain pH levels where they are denatured. 3) Various chemicals..
The activity of an enzyme is affected by temperature, pH and the concentration of the substrate.
Every enzymes has its own optimum pH and temperature, where it shows higher activity (pH:it is very specific; temperature:mostly not more than 30-37degree C). Above or below this situation the enzymes activity may differs exponentially due to the biochemical changes.
An enzyme is a folded protein. When this folded protein becomes denatured, it essentially stops working. It can not function due to high temperatures or wrong pH.
pH and Temperature both impact the enzyme's function.
If you change the pH, the enzyme can become inactive and won't be able anymore to forfill its function.

It will affect the shape and lead to reduced activity.
Temperature, pH, solute concentration, and salt content just to name a few. Temperature and Ph affect the function of enzymes because our body has a temperature of around 37 degrees and the conditions in our stomach are acidic. So9f or the enzyme to work properly then the working condidtions have to be at least 37 degrees and they need to acidic otherwise the enzyme won't work properly.

Enzyme become denatured.
actors such as temperature and pH can affect an enzyme's rate of reaction because enzymes are sensitive to pH and heat. Most enzymes can only function in a particular temperature or pH range, and as the enzyme works out of its normal temperature and pH range, it will denature (change in shape so that the active site no longer fits with the substrate and the enzyme can't function).
