The ideal temperature at which to study the effect of proteases on protein is 37°C. Why are higher temperatures not advisable?

A) This could result in an irreversible denaturing of the protein.

B) At higher temperatures, the substrate will be decomposed.

C) At higher temperatures, proteins transform into carbohydrates.

D) The protein reacts with the proteases only at the indicated temperature.

Answer:

The higher temperatures are not advisable because

A) This could contribute to irreversible denaturing of protein.

D) Only at the specified temperature, the protein interacts with the proteases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher temperatures are not advisable because

A) This could contribute to irreversible denaturing of protein.

D) Only at the specified temperature, the protein interacts with the proteases.

1. The protease at a temperature higher than 37 degree is not active

2) The protein you are researching to be destroyed by protease may be denatured and the protease may not function because the protein(s) that it targets are messed up by the structure.
