- 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....

Definition
A proenzyme (or zymogen) is an inactivate form of an enzyme (enzyme precursor) which requires a biochemical change in order to become active.
