Extract

Write an explanation of how any two factors affect the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction. How do these factors affect the chemical structure
and properties of the enzyme.
Many things can affect the rate of enzyme activity. The temperature of the enzyme, the pH of the solution, the concentration of the enzyme, substrate and the product. Also, another affector is the number of competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
As I cannot explain them all, I have chosen to explain the effect of temperature and also the effect of inhibitors on enzyme activity.
