Increasing temperature initially increases the enzyme reaction rate due to more kinetic energy and successful collisions, but beyond the optimum temperature, the enzyme denatures and loses activity rapidly.

| Front | Effect of increasing temp on enzymes 2.1.4(d) |
|---|---|
| Back | - more KE, more successful collisions between enzymes and substrates so higher ROR - if too high, bonds holding protein eventually break, changing tertiary structure |
