Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which speed up the rate of chemical reactions. Since most enzymes are proteins, they have specific structures which relates to their catalytic abilities.

When heat above the optimal temperature of activity (about 45°C and above) is applied to an enzyme, the structural integrity of the enzyme molecules are compromised. The various quaternary, tertiary, secondary and structures of the protein are destroyed. This also results in the shape of the active site of the enzyme to be distorted. As a result, substrate cannot bind and the enzyme loses its activity.
