Why might heating an enzyme slow the rate at which the rate occure?

when heating it it prevents the enzyme from adapting faster and that takes time for the enzyme to adapt which will take more time and make the rate at which the reaction occurs slower. did i answer ur question? :)

What is the importance of a rate-limiting enzyme?
A rate-limitingenzyme's place as first in a series is important because if an enzyme at some point in the sequence were rate-limiting,an intermediate chemical in the pathway might accumulate.
What does cooling and heating do to enzyme activity?
Cooling generally slows down enzyme activity by decreasing the kinetic energy of the enzyme molecules, limiting their ability to collide with substrate molecules and facilitating the formation of enzyme-substrate complexes. Heating, on the other hand, initially increases enzyme activity by providing more kinetic energy for enzyme-substrate collisions and enhancing the rate of reaction. However, excessive heat can denature enzymes, causing them to lose their shape and function, ultimately decreasing enzyme activity.
How enzyme concentration effect the rate of fermentation?
well one enzyme hits another enzyme and the rate of fermentation is increased init. mr med
What has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
When an enzyme is saturated the amount of substrate added no longer as an effect on the rate of the reaction.
This essential substance increases the rate of a biochemical reaction?
the inorganic substance which increases the enzyme activity is called?

What happens to rate of diffusion on heating?
On heating the rate of Diffusion increases..

Why are enzyme preparation pills unlikely to be effective as advertised?
the stomach might digest the enzymes at a faster rate than they are absorbed
How does the non-competitive inhibitor decrease the rate of an enzyme reaction?
Noncompetitive inhibitors decrease the rate of an enzyme reaction by bonding to an enzyme somewhere other than the active site, deforming it and permanently disabling the enzyme, so that enzyme can never function again, so the rate of reaction decreases.
What is a protein that changes the rate of chemical reactions?
its called an enzyme
How does increasing enzyme concentration affect the rate of enzyme action when the enzyme concentration remains constant?
It doesn't
What has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction?
When an enzyme is saturated the amount of substrate added no longer as an effect on the rate of the reaction.
What is the function of an enzyme?
The function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction.
What happens when an enzyme catalyzes a reaction?
The rate of a reactions usually increases when catalyzed by an enzyme. For maximum rate of activity, the enzyme needs optimal conditions.
What can Tobin conclude about the relationship between the enzyme concentration and the reaction rate in the presence of excess substrate?
There is a direct relationship; as the enzyme concentration increases, the rate of reaction increases.
