The effects of temperature on enzyme activity. Top: increasing temperature increases the rate of reaction (Q10 coefficient). Middle: the fraction of folded and functional enzyme decreases above its denaturation temperature. Bottom: consequently, an enzyme's optimal rate of reaction is at an intermediate temperature.
The "optimum" temperature for human enzymes is usually between 35 and 40 °C. The average temperature for humans is 37 °C. Human enzymes start to denature quickly at temperatures above 40 °C. Enzymes from thermophilic archaea found in the hot springs are stable up to 100 °C. [13]

An enzyme's activity decreases markedly outside its optimal temperature and pH, and many enzymes are (permanently) denatured when exposed to excessive heat, losing their structure and catalytic properties.
At temperatures above 90 °C, Taq demonstrates very little or no activity at all, but the enzyme itself does not denature and remains intact. [5] Presence of certain ions in the reaction vessel also affects specific activity of the enzyme. Small amounts of potassium chloride (KCl) and magnesium ion (Mg 2+) promote Taq's enzymatic activity.
At this temperature incubation for 30 minutes reduces the enzymes activity by half. Thermolysin has a T 50 value of 86.9 °C, making it the most thermo stable member of the TLP family. [ 9 ] Studies on the contribution of calcium to thermolysin stability have shown that upon thermal inactivation a single calcium ion is released from the ...
