Factors affecting enzyme reaction rates include temperature (denaturation at high temps), pH (denaturation at extremes), and substrate concentration (increases until active sites are saturated).
Fatores que afetam a taxa de reações enzimáticas: 1. Temperatura - Se ficar muito quente, as ligações se quebram e a enzima desnatura. 2. pH - Se for muito alto/baixo, as ligações mudam e afetam o sítio ativo, fazendo com que a enzima desnature. 3. Concentração de substrato - Mais substratos significam uma reação mais rápida. Até que todos os sítios ativos se preencham.

| Back | 1. Temperature - If it gets too hot, the bonds break down and the enzyme denatures. 2. pH - If it's too high/low, the bonds change and affect the active site so the enzyme denatures. 3. Substrate concentration - More substrates mean a faster reaction. Until all the active sites fill up. |
