: [[Enzyme]]s can be [[denature]]d if the [[temperature]]s are too high or the [[pH]] is too extreme. Different [[enzyme]]s have a different [[Optimum|optimum]] [[temperature]] and [[Optimum|optimum]] [[pH]]. ===pH and Enzymes===: [[Enzyme]]s have an [[optimum]] [[pH]] at which they work best. If the [[pH]] is far from this [[optimum]] value the [[enzyme]] will [[denature]].{| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:AmylasepH.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |This [[graph]] shows the [[optimum]] [[pH]] for [[amylase]].|}
