Temperature has the most effect, closely followed by pH.
If you denature an enzyme, you do not kill it because it was never alive, but you shut it down. It cannot work any longer and therefore it cannot speed up the reaction. The overall reaction will be slower because there are less enzymes.
The three factors that impact enzyme function are temperature, pH level, and substrate concentration.
Yes, temperature is a critical factor that affects enzyme activity. Generally, enzymes work within an optimal temperature range, beyond which they can become denatured and lose their function. Changes in temperature can alter the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
Some easy enzyme lab experiments that can be conducted in a classroom setting include testing the effect of temperature on enzyme activity, investigating the impact of pH on enzyme function, and exploring the role of substrate concentration on enzyme reactions. These experiments can provide valuable insights into how enzymes work and are commonly used in educational settings to demonstrate basic enzymatic principles.

Yes, the allosteric effect can change an enzyme's function by altering its activity or affinity for its substrate. This modulation is often achieved by a molecule binding to a site on the enzyme other than the active site, causing a conformational change that affects the enzyme's catalytic activity.

With a lot of heat, the enzyme will be denatured meaning it will lose its shape and therefore its function.
No, there is no such report known. So far, proteins (may be together with co-factor) can only act as enzyme
In an allosteric enzyme, the homotropic effect occurs when the substrate acts as a ligand and binds to the active site, influencing the enzyme's activity. This binding can either enhance or inhibit the enzyme's function, depending on the specific enzyme and substrate involved.
Excess heat or temperature can denature an enzyme, altering its shape and disrupting its active site. This can result in loss of enzyme function and decreased catalytic activity. Ultimately, high temperatures can render the enzyme nonfunctional.
The place where the substrate and the enzyme meet to allow the enzyme to function.
The function of an enzyme is dependent on the shape of the enzyme. The structure and shape determines what the enzyme can do.
If you denature an enzyme, you do not kill it because it was never alive, but you shut it down. It cannot work any longer and therefore it cannot speed up the reaction. The overall reaction will be slower because there are less enzymes.
Enzyme concentration has no effect on the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction after reaching a saturation point where all enzyme active sites are occupied. At this point, adding more enzyme will not increase the reaction rate further.
Enzyme activators like cofactors or substrates can switch on enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and promoting its function. Conversely, inhibitors can switch off or reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme and preventing its normal function.
