Denaturing in the sense that proteolytic enzymes reduce proteins to their amino acid subunits.
Enzymes are the catalytic compounds (proteins) that facilitate organic chemical reactions - NOTE neither lipids or enzymes CAUSE molecules to change.
While "kill" isn't the right word for it since enzymes are not alive, a change in pH (becoming more acidic for instance) can cause an enzyme to denature and become useless.
It would depend on the situation. Some organisms live at very high temperatures and this would not make any difference. In humans, it would cause the enzyme to denature. It would cook them.
They come apart and lose there shapeA large change in temperature or ph will cause protiens to come apart and lose their shape.
When an egg is heated the proteins in the egg will denature which means that the proteins will break down and lose their shape. This will cause the egg to turn from a runny liquid to a solid. The proteins in the egg will bind together trapping water and air pockets giving the egg its solid form. Additionally the yolk will turn from a soft yellow to a firm yellow and the egg white will turn from a clear liquid to a white solid. The changes that occur when an egg is heated can be broken down into the following list: The proteins in the egg will denature causing the egg to turn from a runny liquid to a solid The proteins will bind together trapping water and air pockets The yolk will turn from a soft yellow to a firm yellow The egg white will turn from a clear liquid to a white solidHeating an egg is an important part of many cooking processes as it allows the egg to take on the desired form and texture. Understanding the changes that occur when an egg is heated can help cooks to create the perfect dish.
There is nothing available that suggest that Proteolytic Enzymes cause arthritis. as a matter of fact some work is being done that suggest that it may be useful in treating the disease and to relieve pain from rheumatoid arthritis.
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.
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.
when an enzyme is exposed to conditions it is not made for, it will denature and loose its shape. THEY DONT DIE THOUGH! they cant die because enzymes are never alive, they are just proteins. i know this stuff cause im taking my biology 2 exam in 2 weeks ;)

pH, temperature, other proteins, and atoms. affect the shapes of enzymes. pH affects the configuration of proteins by the way the hydrogen ions interact with exposed charged atoms. Extreme ph can denature or alter the native shape. Temperature can also affect the shapes of proteins. High temps can also denature proteins and often break off fragments due to the energy. Extremely low temps can cause freezing into lattice/crystal shapes as well. Other proteins can alter other proteins due to the interactions of surface atoms and charges. Atoms can also change protein structure due to the electrical charges which redistribute over the molecule. Metal atoms can act as catalysts which affects the energy needed to cause a reaction to take place.
Acid coagulation is using acid to coagulate proteins. For most proteins, adding acid will cause the proteins to denature and stick to each other. This happens when making cottage cheese.

While "kill" isn't the right word for it since enzymes are not alive, a change in pH (becoming more acidic for instance) can cause an enzyme to denature and become useless.
Temperature and pH are the two factors that can cause enzymes to denature.
The dependence of protein function on a protein's specific shape becomes clear when proteins are altered. Denaturation is the process by which proteins lose their structure and function because of an outside factor, such as a change in temperature or pH.
