temperature standard of enzymes
Temperature Effects Like most chemical reactions, the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. A ten degree Centigrade rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100%.Variations in reaction temperature as small as 1 or 2 degrees may introduce changes of 10 to 20% in the results.In the case of enzymatic reactions, this is complicated by the fact that many enzymes are adversely affected by high temperatures.ariations in reaction temperature as small as 1 or 2 degrees may introduce changes of 10 to 20% in the results.
