However certain substances can bind to the enzyme at sites other than theActive site and modify its activity (inhibitors/co-factors)
Idea that the enzyme is flexible

Enzyme activity
How fast an enzyme is workingRate of Reaction
Rate of Reaction = Amount of substrate changed (or amount product formed) in a given period of time.

40oC - denatures
5- 40oC Increase in Activity
<5oC - inactive
Effect of heat on enzyme activtyIf you heat the protein above its optimal temperature
bonds break meaning the protein loses it secondary and tertiary structure
Effect of heat on enzyme activty
Denaturing the protein
ACTIVE SITE CHANGES SHAPE SO SUBSTRATE NO LONGER FITS
Even if temperature lowered – enzyme can’t regain its correct shape
