Investigation to show the effect of temperature on the action of protease on photographic film Aim: to show the effect of temperature on the action of protease on photographic film Prediction: I predict that as the temperature of the enzyme increases, so will the rate of reaction. However, I only predict this until a certain temperature and beyond perhaps 60(optimum temperature) the enzyme will stop working as well and both the enzyme and the substrate will become slightly deformed. As the temperature rises, molecules move much faster and as a result have more energy. This means that they will be more likely to collide so overall increasing the temperature will increase the chances of successful collisions. However with enzymes at the temperature of perhaps 70-75 degrees, their protein structure will break down and their shape may become slightly deformed. This means that they won't be able to fit into the substrate anymore, slowing...
