Excessively high and low temperatures, or extreme pH's (high and low). The range of both varies greatly on the enzyme in question.

High temperature and extreme pH can denature proteins readily. However other methods such as detergents and Salt Concentrations can also work.

Why do some people move quicker than others?

People move at different speeds due to factors such as individual fitness levels, physical capabilities, motivation, and practice. Other factors like experience, coordination, muscle strength, and mental focus can also impact how quickly someone moves. Each person's unique combination of these factors contributes to their speed of movement.


What are some factors that affect your body weight?

Some factors that affect body weight include genetics, metabolism, physical activity level, diet, hormonal balance, and underlying medical conditions. Genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors can also play a role in weight management.


What are some rural push factors?

Some rural push factors include lack of job opportunities, limited access to healthcare and education, inadequate infrastructure and services, and natural disasters or environmental concerns. These factors contribute to people leaving rural areas in search of better opportunities and quality of life in urban areas.


Why do some objects decompose faster than others?

Some objects decompose faster than others due to factors such as their chemical composition, exposure to moisture, temperature, and presence of microorganisms or enzymes that break down the material. Objects made of natural materials like paper and food waste decompose faster than synthetic materials like plastic, which can take hundreds of years to decompose.


What are some factors that determine the resonant frequency of glass?

The resonant frequency of glass is determined by factors such as its size, shape, thickness, and material composition. These factors affect how the glass vibrates when a force is applied, leading to its unique resonant frequency.

What are some environmental enzyme factors?

Some environmental enzyme factors include temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and presence of inhibitors or activators. These factors can affect enzyme activity by altering the enzyme's structure or its ability to bind to the substrate. Temperature and pH are particularly critical as they can denature enzymes if not within the optimal range.


Can salivary enzymes function in the acidic environment of the stomach?

No, enzymes like salivary amylase will denature when subjected to the low pH of the gastric juices. This is why there are similar, but slightly different enzymes released in the stomach. Some (like pepsin) are only activated through the high hydrochloric acid concentration.


Can enzymes work over a broad range of PH levels?

Enzymes have an optimal pH at which they work most efficiently, but some enzymes can function over a range of pH levels beyond their optimal pH. However, extreme pH levels can denature enzymes, leading to loss of their function.


What enzymes are in jam?

In jam, enzymes are typically not present in significant amounts. However, depending on the ingredients used, some natural enzymes from fruits such as pectinase (breaks down pectin in fruits) may be present. Commercially produced jam may be processed at high temperatures to deactivate any enzymes present.


How does heat affect the enzymes in a chemical reaction?

At excessive temperatures, enzymes usually denature or break down into other molecules, thus failing to preform their specific function.Other than that, heat does not affect enzymes much but it does increase the speed of the reaction.


Enzymes have optimal temperatures.most human enzymes have an optimal temperature of about?

The optimal temperature of enzymes in humans is about 37c, the same as the human body's temperature. However, some enzymes work at higher temperatures than 37 but not very high because higher temperatures denatures (destroy) the enzymes.


Which Enzyme function is true Enzymes cannot function at a pH lower than 6.Most coenzymes are inorganic substances such as ions of iron or potassium.Excessive salt ions can cause an enzyme to denature?

The answer is: "Excessive salt ions can cause an enzyme to denature." Although most enzymes function near neutrality, in the range of pH 6-8, there are some exceptions. For example, Pepsin, a digestive enzyme, works best at pH 2. While some coenzymes are inorganic, there are several organic coenzymes as well.


What effect would temperatures greater than 55 degrees Celsius have on enzymes?

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.


How does heat denature enzymes?

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.


Which type of proteins activate some chemicals reactions in the body?

enzymes :)


Are Enzymes are able to work at any temperature?

Enzymes have an optimal temperature at which they work best, usually around body temperature for human enzymes. Extreme temperatures can denature the enzyme, causing it to lose its shape and function. Some enzymes from extremophiles are adapted to work at very high or low temperatures.


Why does not water denature protein?

water might, but it depends, are you talking purified normal pH water or something else? There are some enzymes whose normal function may be at very basic or acid pH, which might be denatured by neutral water. Your premise may not be accurate.
