1. Temperature: Enzymes are sensitive to temperature and will become denatured if the temperature is too high or too low.
2. pH: Enzymes have an optimal pH range in which they work best.
3. Substrate concentration: Increasing the substrate concentration can increase the rate of reaction.
4. Enzyme concentration: Increasing the enzyme concentration can increase the rate of reaction.
5. Cofactors: Some enzymes require cofactors such as metal ions or vitamins to function properly.
6. Inhibitors: Inhibitors can bind to enzymes and prevent them from working properly.
