Influence of the pH on enzyme assays The activity of enzymes depends strictly on the pH in the assay mixture The activities of most enzymes follow a bell- How temperature affects enzyme action Higher temperatures disrupt the shape of the active site, which will reduce its activity, or prevent it from working The

An enzyme with a high Km value relative to the physiological concentration of substrate will not be saturated with substrate, and its activity will therefore Enzyme activity can be affected by a variety of factors, such as temperature, pH, and concentration Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges
