==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Optimum]] refers to the conditions ([[temperature]] and [[pH]]) in which an [[enzyme]] functions most efficiently.

===About Optimum Conditions===
: In [[optimum]] conditions an [[enzyme]] will [[catalyst|catalyse]] a [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] at its fastest possible [[Rate of Reaction|rate]].
: If the [[temperature]] becomes too high or the [[pH]] goes far beyond the [[optimum]] then the [[enzyme]] will [[Denaturation|denature]] and will never work again.
: If the [[temperature]] becomes too low the [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] will slow down, but the [[enzyme]] will not be [[Denaturation|denatured]] so once the [[temperature]] increases again the [[enzyme]] will continue to function.
