chymotrypsin I shows high activity in the range from 20°C to 50°C and chymotrypsin II from 10°C to 45°C
20 - 45
-
chymotrypsin A at 20°C exhibits more than 60% of its maximum activity, which is much higher than chymotrypsin B (27%). Slight changes in activity for both enzymes at 37°C. Relative activities of the two enzymes decrease sharply at above 45°C
20 - 62
-
approx. 50% of maximal activity at 20°C, approx. 20% of maximal activity at 62°C
35 - 65
-
35°C: about 40% of maximal activity, 45°C: about 85% of maximal activity, 65°C: about 25% of maximal activity
37 - 40
-
catalytic activity of the enzyme exponentially falls off after 40°C and is thought to be associated with the thermal denaturation of the protein, the kcat and KM values associated with the enzyme catalysis increase up to 40°C and then fall
