At high temperature enzyme structure is denatured.why?
Answers
Answer:
As the temperature rises, reacting molecules have more and more kinetic energy. ... Above this temperature the enzyme structure begins to break down (denature) since at higher temperatures intra- and intermolecular bonds are broken as the enzyme molecules gain even more kinetic energy.
Answer:
At high temperature enzyme structure is denatured because an enzyme is a protein that is a heteropolymer that is made up of many amino acids that are monomers, to form a complete structure.
Explanation:
These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds that are heat sensitive. The breakage of these bonds changes the complete structure of the molecule thereby making it unfit to take part in the lock and key mechanism of the enzyme kinetics.
