Enzymes involved directly in this project are ptylain, bromelain, and catalase. Enzymes are very selective in the reactions they catalyze. Their selectivity determines which chemical processes occur in a cell at any particular time. The activity of an enzyme is effected by its environment, and for every enzyme there are conditions under which it is most effective. Temperature for instance, affects molecular motion, and an enzyme's optimal temperature produces the highest rate of contact between reactant molecules and the enzyme's active site.
Enzymes have a higher activity rate in regards to temperature.
This is commonly referred to as enzyme kinetics. Enzymes can become denatured when exposed to high temperatures for a period of time. The temperature and time required to denature will change from enzyme to enzyme. The pH also influences the enzyme activity. For some enzymes the optimal pH is near neutrality, in the pH range of 6-8.
