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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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 enzyme activity is maximum.
