Description: The rate of an enzymatic reaction typically increases with temperature , up to a point. After that point, the rate falls sharply as the enzyme denatures. E. coli inhabits the gut (normally 37°C); T. aquaticus lives in hot springs, preferably at 70°C. Graphs like the one shown here are called activity profiles. Each enzyme has a characteristic temperature/activity profile curve.
