yes, because (for example) if an enzyme denatures, then its shape is altered, therefore its functions are destroyed.

What happens to enzymes at a low pH?

At low pH, enzymes can denature, meaning their shape and structure change, impairing their ability to function properly. This alteration in shape can disrupt the enzyme's active site, making it unable to bind to its substrate and catalyze reactions effectively. Ultimately, the enzyme may become inactive.


Denatured enzymes are the same as?

Denatured enzymes are enzymes whose structure has been altered, leading to loss of their original function. They lose their ability to catalyze reactions efficiently or at all due to changes in their shape or folding. This can be caused by factors such as temperature, pH, or exposure to chemicals.

What changes are enzymes sensitive to?

Enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature, pH levels, and substrate concentration. These factors can affect the enzyme's shape and ability to function effectively.


Why does boiling the enzymes reduce the enzymes catalytic effectiveness?

destroy if by which you mean denatures then yes boiling will do that, because the enzyme's form / shape has been change and that changes its function


Does acid kill enzymes?

Yes, acids can denature enzymes by altering their structure, which can lead to a loss of function. Enzymes rely on their specific three-dimensional shape to function properly, and changes in pH can disrupt this shape, rendering the enzyme inactive.
