- Q: Explain The Effects Of Too High A Temperature On An Enzyme
If the temperature is too high, an increase in kinetic energy of the molecules will cause excessive vibrations of the molecules. This will disrupt the 3 dimensional structure of the enzyme, causing it to become a random coil. The enzyme is therefore denatured....

Coined/History
The term ?Enzyme? was coined by F.W Kuhne (1837 - 1900) in 1978.
Definition
The complete enzyme consisting of an apoenzyme (protein component of an enzyme) combined with its cofactor (a non-protein chemical compound).
