Based on what you know about enzyme reaction rates and the absorbance of solution in a dye couple reaction, what is the optimum functional temperature for the enzyme depicted below? At what temperature, does it become denatured?

Solution

Answer : Based on the information given in the above graph, it is understood that the enzyme exhibits optimum enzymatic activity at 15⁰C.

And at 30⁰C, the activity of enzyme slopes down as denaturation of enzyme occurs here. Denaturation is the destruction of the three domensional structure of the enzyme molecule with the concommitant loss of its biological activity.
