Using your findings, provide a hypothesis that offers to explain the effect of temperature on enzyme reaction at the molecular level.
Hypothesis:
enzyme activity should be optimal at body temperature, 98.6 °F (37.0 °C).
Enzyme's conformation is affected by temperature.
Using your findings, provide a hypothesis that offers to explain the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme reaction at the molecular level.
Hypothesis:
enzyme activity should increase with enzyme concentration.
Using your findings, provide a hypothesis that offers to explain the effect of pH on enzyme reaction at the molecular level.
Hypothesis:
enzyme activity should be optimal around neutral pH of 7, or slightly alkaline pH range of 7.35 to 7.45 in humans.
