7609536819optimum conditionsthe temperature and pH where enzyme activity is highest15
7609536820denaturationdestruction of the active site of the enzyme by breaking the weak bonds of the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures16
7609536821denaturationWhat has happened to this protein?17
7609536822high temperatures or changes in pHWhat are two environmental factors that can denature a protein?18
7609536823inhibitorprevents the substrate from binding to the enzyme, decreasing enzyme activity19

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
