Enzymes can be denatured in several ways:
1. Lower the temperature: the bonds holding the amino acids together tighten and constrict
2. Increase the temperature: the bonds tighten and constrict
3. Increasing or decreasing the PH levels results in bonds being altered therefore denaturing the protein
