Question
Which one of the following statements is incorrect about enzyme catalysis?
A.
Enzymes are mostly proteinous in nature
B.
Enzyme action is specific
C.
Enzymes are denaturated by $$UV$$ - rays and at high temperature
D.
Enzymes are least reactive at optimum temperature
Answer :
Enzymes are least reactive at optimum temperature
Solution :
Most of the enzymes have proteinous nature. They are highly specific and get denaturated by high temperature or $$UV$$ - rays. At optimum temperature, which is generally in between $${25^ \circ } - {35^ \circ }C,$$ enzyme activity is maximum.
