No if it is denatured, it can no longer preform its functions as an enzyme. You can also think of it as being a dead battery. No more use.

What happens to the enzyme when it is cooled below its best working temperature?
When an enzyme coola below a temperature where it can work, it denatures (dies).
What have effect on enzyme?
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.
What does heat do to the DNA polymerase?
Heat denatures protein. DNA polymerase is an enzyme and a protein.
What happen to the active site when the enzyme denatures?
The action going on that site will slow down.
What happens to an enzyme if the temperature varies too far from the enzymes optimum temperature?
They do not work as they effectively change shape and so cannot perform their allocated task
What happens when an enzyme is renatured?
Do you mean denatured? Form is function in an enzyme and if heat or acidity denatures an enzyme the function of the enzyme is compromised. Certain R group bonds being br5oken will denature the enzyme and give it a different conformation.
When enzymes are placed in extreme pH or temperature conditions they unwind and change shape This is called what?
The enzyme 'denatures'
What factors increase the rates of enzyme-controlled reactions?
** TEMPERATURE ** pH LEVEL ** PARTICLE SIZE ** SUBSTRATE CONCENTRATION
What is the true relationship between pH and enzyme action?
The enzyme has an optimal point of pH at which the enzyme works best. For example a catalase enzyme works best in a pH of 7. When the pH changes it denatures the enzyme causing it to not be able to react with the substrate.
Explain he enzymes shape after being boiled?
Boiling an enzyme denatures it which in turn reduces its ability to accept substrates at an active site. Since an enzyme is less effective when boiled, the reaction rate decreases.
What is the point of boiling a catalase?
boiling catalase denatures the enzyme making unable to function
Does an enzymes function depends on its three dementional shape?
yes, because (for example) if an enzyme denatures, then its shape is altered, therefore its functions are destroyed.
