What enzymes are present in human bodies?

There is a huge amount of enzyme types in the human body. We have digestive enzymes such as pepsinogen, cardiac enzymes such as Trop-I, liver enzymes such as GGT. If you are curious of enzymes in the human body I suggest you look at specific systems or organs. An example would be to ask the internets about "pancreatic enzymes".

What is the Optimum temperature for enzymes?

It depends on the type of enzyme and where that enzyme is located. For example, an average enzyme in the human body prefers 98.6 degrees F plus or minus a few degrees depending on where the enzyme is in the body. It is interesting to note that a high fever is fatal to the human body because the temperature of the body gets too high and the enzyme begins to unravel. Therefore their function stops and, without that function, the human body will begin to shut down leading to possible death. Other enzymes function in completely different temperatures. For example, extremophiles are organisms that live in extreme conditions (hence the name) ranging from about 0 degrees Fahrenheit to upwards of about 180 degrees F. Obviously they need their enzymes to function at these temperatures extreme temperatures and therefore these temperatures are their optimum temperature.


Is an enzyme a substance?

Yes, an enzyme is a substance, an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance. I had to find this out for Biology GCSE and found that not many people actually knew. Hope it helps :O)
