How Does An Enzyme Misguided From Its Optimum Conditions

Enzymes are biological catalysts that regulate chemical reactions, which are produced from energy. Enzymes are significantly important for standard living needs, but can often become misguided from its optimal conditions. An enzyme can become denatured through a change of pH, substrate concentration, salt concentration or temperature. High temperatures denature the shape of an enzyme and prevents any binding. An enzyme in low temperatures decreases the movement of molecules which slows down the reaction rate. For this laboratory experiment, the effect of how temperature was being tested towards the break down of starch to maltose in Bacterial and Fungal Amylase. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down proteins and starches. The Bacterial and
