Although enzyme-catalyzed reactions often appear to have an optimum temperature, the peak in such a plot of catalytic activity vs. temperature results because enzymes, being proteins, are denatured by heat and become inactive as the temperature is raised beyond a certain point. The apparent temperature "optimum" is thus the resultant of two processes :(1) the usual increase in reaction rate with temperature and(2) the increasing rate of thermal denaturation of the enzyme above a critical temperature. 3, record 8, English, - optimum%20temperature
