BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzyme reactions depend strongly on pH and temperature. The direct dependence of the enzyme becomes obvious, when the enzyme activity is measured at the respective pH or temperature, while preincubation for a distinct time yields the stability of the enzyme against these influences.

Detailed explanation-2: -The intra-and intermolecular bonds that hold proteins in their secondary and tertiary structures are disrupted by changes in temperature and pH. This affects shapes and so the catalytic activity of an enzyme is pH and temperature sensitive.
