To test whether an enzyme is saturated or not we need to check reaction is taking place or not. If the enzyme is saturated reaction will not take place.Three conditions which can alter reactivity of an enzyme are temperature, acidity and salinity. All the factors can cause denature of enzyme if not present at optimal level.Ans: Household products like cheese (rennin), lens cleaner (protease),dish soap (amylase) they work by means of enzyme.
