Every enzyme works at its maximum rate at a specific temprature called as optimum temprature for that enzyme.
AND
all enzymes work at their maximum rate at narrow range of pH, called as optimum pH. A slight increase or decrease in pH causes the retardation in enzyme activity or blocks it completely.
The optimum temperature for an enzyme is the temperature at which it exhibits maximum activity. For enzyme 2, its optimum temperature would be specific to that enzyme and can vary depending on its source. Usually, it falls within the range of 37-40°C for most enzymes found in human cells.
I believe it's 7.3, the pH of human blood, as most enzymatic reactions occur there. However, there are special enzymes, such as the ones which are in the stomach, which work best at around a pH of 2.
The three main factors that affect enjyme activity are:- a)Temperature:Enzymes generally function properly at a narrow rangr of temperature and shows its highest activity t a particular temperature called its optimum temperature. b)pH:-as temperature pH also has a particular value ,in which the enzymes are most active,called the optimum temperature. c)Concentration of substrate;-with the increase in substrate concentration,the velocity of the enzymatic reaction also increases,till a maximum velocitywhich does not rise any further with the rise in substrate concentration.
The optimum pH for invertase, an enzyme that breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose, is typically around pH 4.5 to 5.5. This is the pH at which the enzyme is most active and efficient in its catalytic function. Deviating from this pH range can result in a decrease in enzyme activity.
Enzymes have different optimum pH levels. Trypsin, which is found in the intestines has an optimum pH of 8-9. Higher or lower than that, its activity decreases until it reaches to a level where the H-bonds holding the protein structure is destroyed. A loss of structure means a loss of function, therefore the enzyme has been denatured. Pepsin on the other hand operates at a more acidic pH, typically 1.5-2. The enzyme, salivary amylase has an optimum pH of 7. In the body, the optimum pH of enzymes vary, the optimum temperature however is close to body temperature, which is 37C or 98.6F. Extreme heat denatures the enzyme, cold on the other hand, only INHIBITS it.
To determine the optimum pH of an enzyme, you can conduct experiments at different pH levels and measure the enzyme activity. The pH at which the enzyme shows the highest activity is considered its optimum pH.
The optimum pH for enzyme B is 7. Enzyme B works best at a neutral pH.
The optimum temperature for an enzyme is the temperature at which it exhibits maximum activity. For enzyme 2, its optimum temperature would be specific to that enzyme and can vary depending on its source. Usually, it falls within the range of 37-40°C for most enzymes found in human cells.
As you increase the temperature at first the activity of an enzymes will also increase, so the reaction will go faster. At a certain temperature, called the optimum temperature, the enzyme will work at its maximum rate. Above the optimum temperature the enzyme activity decreases. This is due to the loss of shape by the enzyme molecules, a process called denaturation. In mammals, most enzyme shave an optimum temperature of about 37 oC. Roughly speaking, the rate of an enzyme reaction doubles for each 10 oC rise in temperature, until the optimum temperature is reached. pH affects enzymes in a similar way. At a low pH many enzymes have a low activity. As the pH increases the enzyme activity increases until the optimum pH at which the enzyme has maximum activity. Above this pH enzyme activity decreases. These effects are also dueto denaturation of the enzyme molecules at extreme pH values. Many enzymes work best at around pH 7.0. An important exception is pepsin, a protein-digesting (protease) enzyme in the stomach. This works at low pH values such as those found in the stomach (around pH 2.0), due to the presence of hydrochloric acid.
Alcohol dehydrogenase has an optimum pH of around 7.5-8.5 and an optimum temperature of around 37°C (98.6°F). These conditions allow the enzyme to function at its highest efficiency in catalyzing the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones.
I believe it's 7.3, the pH of human blood, as most enzymatic reactions occur there. However, there are special enzymes, such as the ones which are in the stomach, which work best at around a pH of 2.
The data suggests that the enzyme-catalyzed reaction has an optimum pH level at which it functions most efficiently. This pH level is where the enzyme's activity and stability are maximized, leading to the highest reaction rate. Deviating from this optimum pH can result in decreased enzyme activity and potentially denaturation.
The optimum temperature for the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is 40 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature at which the enzyme is most effective; like many other enzymes the rate of reaction will decrease with temperature, but if the temperature rises much above the optimum level, it will cause the enzymes to denature. Denatured enzymes will stay denatured even if the temperature decreases again. The optimum pH for polyphenol oxidase is 5.
Three things that can alter the rate of an enzyme are; temperature, pH and substrate concentration. Enzymes will have an optimal temperature and pH, at which they will have the greatest rate. Below or above these optimum conditions, the rate will be slower.
Enzyme become denatured.
A change in pH or and change in temperature will change the shape of the enzyme because its proteins are denatured. Therefore, the enzyme can no longer perform its desired functions because its specific shape has been altered.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a poisonous byproduct of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2).
