Enzyme temperature curve
Catalase rates in mL O2/min: 10 C=1.2, 25 C=3.8, 37 C=6.1, 55 C=0.9. The worked model links rising collisions to 37 C and loss of active-site shape at 55 C.
Temperature changes molecular motion.
The peak is 37 C in this dataset.
A low high-temperature rate suggests denaturation.
