How do you kill enzymes?


Open in App
Solution

Enzymes:

  1. Enzymes are proteins that aid in accelerating our bodies' chemical reactions, or metabolism.
  2. The human body is made up of various cells, tissues, and organ types.
  3. To live a healthy life, our bodies produce chemicals that help to speed up biological processes like respiration, digestion, excretion, and a few other metabolic activities.
  4. As a result, enzymes are essential in all living things, governing all biological processes.

Ways to kill enzymes:

  1. At temperatures close to boiling, the chemical bonds that hold enzyme structures together begin to break down.
  2. Enzymes no longer fit their specific substrate molecules as a result of the loss of three-dimensional structure, and enzymes cease to function.
