However, since enzyme are held together by weak non-covalent bonds, at higher temperatures, the enzyme catalyzed rate slows down rather than increases: Of courese, at low temperatures, all the molecules in the solution slow down and so does the enzyme catalyzed reaction. At high temperatures, the thermal movement of the molecules become to great for the enzyme to hold its shape or conformation and so it begins to denature and lose its activity...

At high temperatures, the thermal movement of the molecules become to great for the enzyme to hold its shape or conformation and so it begins to denature and lose its activity. Animal enzymes often have temperature optima near 37°C (especially human's since this is body temperature). For thermophilic organisms, like bacteria or blue-green algae which grow well in near boiling hot springs, much higher temperature optima are found; some enzymes even have temperature optima near 90°C...
