A ten degree Centigrade rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100%. Variations in reaction temperature as small as 1 or 2 degrees may introduce changes of 10 to 20% in the results.
Effect of temperature on enzyme activity. The temperture of a system is to some extent a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules in the system. Thus the lower the kinetic energy, the lower the temperature of the system and , likewise, the higher the kinetic energy, the greater the temperature of the system. Increases in the temperature of a system results from increases in the kinetic energy of the system. This has several effects on the rates of reactions. When molecules collide, the kinetic energy of the molecules can be converted into chemical potential energy of the molecules.
