Temperature (Enzyme Reaction Rates) — Effects & Examples

By Gabi Slizewska
Enzyme A has highest activity at around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Enzyme B has the highest level of activity at 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Enzyme C has highest activity at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Enzyme D has highest activity at 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
