What Factors Influence Enzymatic Activity?

Several factors impact the activity of enzymes, including:
- Temperature: Each enzyme has an optimal temperature range. Deviations can lead to denaturation or reduced activity.
- pH: Enzymes also have an optimal pH range where they function most efficiently.
- Substrate Concentration: The rate of reaction increases with substrate concentration until it reaches a saturation point.
- Inhibitors: Substances that reduce enzyme activity. They can be competitive, non-competitive, or uncompetitive.
