: If the [[pH]] goes above 11 or below 2.5 all of the [[amylase]] [[enzyme]]s will be [[denature]]d.
===Temperature and Enzymes===
: [[Enzyme]]s have an [[optimum]] [[temperature]] at which they work best. If the [[temperature]] is far above this [[optimum]] value the [[enzyme]] will [[denature]]. If the [[temperature]] is far lower the rate of reaction slows down due to the number of [[particle]] [[collide|collisions]] being lower at lower [[temperature]]s.
