Chapter 10, Problem 10.96AP

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Whether to double the rate of the reaction catalyzed by hypothetical enzyme can be done by increasing the temperature to $\text{80}{}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$.

Introduction:

Enzyme is a proteinaceous molecule that acts as a catalyst inside the living organisms. They speed up the chemical reaction without being affected by reactions and also allow the chemical reaction to occur in mild condition. There are some factors that affect the activity of enzymes such as temperature, presence of inhibitors, concentration of substrate and $\text{pH}$.
