Rate of Enzyme Reaction Question?

Question

To double the rate of an enzyme reaction, can I increase the temperature by 10 degrees C? Explain. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

yes of course

increasing da temp increases da reactivity or rather movement of enzyme molecules drby increasin da rate of reactn

Answer 2

yes,this a rule of thumb,to the point(temperature)when enzyme breaks off

Answer 3

Depends upon the enzyme and initial starting temp.

To simply say increasing a temp by 10C is a bad error, it may actually decrease the rate effect.

If starting temp 30C yet double to 60C in most biological enzymes this would be terrible.

You need to assess what enzyme it is, what the nominal operatng temperature is
