Optimum temperature of proteins

Answer 1

The optimum temperatre like the optimum pH is the temperature at which the protein funcions most effectively. At too low a temperature the reaction kinetics do not allow for a fast reaction and at too high a temperature the enzyme changes it shape and so no longer accepts the substrate so easily. It is often assumed that proteins have and optimum temperature of 37 degrees C as this is the core body temperature of a human being. But this is only for the majority of proteins as many have a much higher or lower optimum temperature.

Answer 2

Temperature is a key factor determines the protein's stability and activity. Most of the proteins loose their structure by heating above 80 degree Celsius(except thermo stable proteins such as Taq polymerase). Also the biochemical activiy of an enzyme is optimum at a particular temperature (mostly physiological temperature 30-37 degrees)

Answer 3

The optimum temperature for proteins can vary depending on the specific protein. However, in general, most proteins have an optimum temperature around 37 degrees Celsius, which is body temperature for humans. At this temperature, proteins usually exhibit their highest level of activity and stability.
