Question

One of the oldest method enzymes high radiation

Answer 1

UV radiation will affect enzyme activity…well, it can. Through a range of possible scenarios. The most simple answer to the question regarding how it may affect activity is due to up light damaging the enzyme due to the cleavage of bonds, the formation of reactive oxygen species that can cause enzyme damage, the formation of new covalent bonds, or loss of metals located at the active site. UV light is very energetic and can catalyze many processes that can damage enzymes.
