Temperature, pH, & salt concentration
The shape of an enzyme will determine its ability to help in a chemical reaction. These proteins that will break down substance in the body and catalyze chemical reactions.
An enzyme binds to a specific substrate (reactant) for the reaction catalyzed.
An enzyme catalyzes the reaction by changing the shapes of the molecules that stress the bonds holding together. Therefore the bond is weaker and will break down faster.
If the conditions in the environment are less than optimal (most often this means temperature, but it can also refer to pressure, salinity [saltiness] or a significant change in pH), the enyzme will lose its shape (called denaturation) and be unable to catalyze the reaction.
Enzymes are organic molecules that are highly specific catylists for biological chemical reactions. Enzymes are not permanently changed by the reactions that they catalyze, although the may transiently change shape a little during the reaction. At the end of the reaction, the enzyme is the same shape that it was at the beginning.
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.

Until the reactants run out
Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts, and only small quantities are needed to catalyze the reaction of relatively large amounts of materials.
When a enzyme is inhibited (many proteins are enzymes), it just means that the enzyme will be reduced in its ability to catalyze a reaction. There are a few types of Inhibition like Competitive Inhibition, Noncompetitive Inhibition, and Irreversible Inhibition.

The reaction rate is affected by enzymes.
