Effect of temperature on enzyme catalysed reaction

  1. Increasing temperature increases KE of molecules1. so more enzyme-substrate (E-S) collisions1. more E-S complexes formed2. Hydrogen/ ionic bonds broken2. Enzyme becomes denatured2. Active site changes shape, no longer complimentary to substrate
