Answer: I thought I have answered this question before. Yes emzymes are sensitive to PH and temperature.
Explanation:
if the temperature is above 60 - 70 degree celcius, it looses it's ability to catalyse as such emzymes are kept within the normal body temperature to function effectively. Emzymes are also sensitive to PH changing the pH of its surroundings will also change the shape of the active site of an enzyme and also changing the pH will affect the charges on the amino acid molecules.
Enzymes are sensitive to pH and temperature. If an enzyme’s environment is too hot, the enzyme cannot work properly due to denature of enzyme. Denature means change in shape and structure. Enzyme function is to speed up the chemical reaction. When the shape of enzyme changes, it does not attached to the substrate and doesn't work properly. So optimum temperature is very necessary for enzyme functioning.
