Many things can denature proteins. Proteins have different optimal ranges in pH and temperature and outside of these optima then the enzyme will not work as well or at all. Also specific detergents will denature an enzyme depending on the enzyme.
At excessive temperatures, enzymes usually denature or break down into other molecules, thus failing to preform their specific function.Other than that, heat does not affect enzymes much but it does increase the speed of the reaction.
Enzymes can malfunction due to changes in pH levels, which can alter their active site structure and affect their ability to catalyze reactions. Additionally, excessive heat can denature enzymes by disrupting their tertiary structure, rendering them nonfunctional.
Heat can denature enzymes, causing them to lose their shape and therefore their function. At low temperatures, heat can increase the rate of enzyme activity, but at high temperatures, enzymes can become inactive due to the disruption of their protein structure.
Factors that can denature enzymes include high temperatures, extreme pH levels, and exposure to certain chemicals or solvents. These conditions can disrupt the shape and structure of the enzyme, leading to loss of its function.
Temperature and enzymes. A good temperature example is the proteins in egg whites denaturing when exposed to heat. Specific enzymes denature specific proteins: lactase (an enzyme) denatures lactose (protein present in dairy products). Protein denaturation can be caused by a number of different factors. These include heat exposure, introduction to acidic surroundings, and exposure to high energy electromagnetic radiation.
large amounts of heat can denature enzymes and render them useless
High heat can denature enzymes, disrupting their structure and functional shape. This can render the enzymes inactive or reduce their efficiency in catalyzing biochemical reactions. Additionally, prolonged exposure to high heat can lead to irreversible damage to enzymes.

Yes.. There are protein and they can be denature

Thermophilic enzymes are stable (they grow and thrive) at temperatures between 60-80 degrees Celsius. This makes them easier to study. This is because mesophilic enzymes will denature at these temperatures, and unlike mesophilic enzymes, thermophilic enzymes will not denature at room temp (25 degrees Celsius, making it easier for scientist to work with thermophilic enzymes. In other words, in biotechnology thermoenzymes have thermo stablity that mesophilic enzymes do not, making them much better use under certain conditions ( where mesophilic enzymes would denature).

High temperatures, acidity or basicity, radiation, etc.
As temperature increases, the rate of enzymatic reactions will increase as well, up to the point where the heat becomes too great and the enzymes denature, making them unable to catalyze reactions any longer.
