How does a high fever affect enzymes? A variation in temperature as little as 1 or 2 degrees Celsius can increase an enzyme-catalyzed reaction rate by 10 to 20 percent. Raising the temperature 10 degrees increases the activity rate of most enzymes by 50 to 100 percent. There is an exception is when temperatures reach a certain threshold above the optimal temperature level.
