Temperature exerts a significant, yet non-linear, control over enzyme kinetics. Extreme cold ($\leq 0^\circ \text{C}$) paradoxically increases the apparent rate of anabolism in cold-adapted fish, driven by the upregulation of highly viscous, low-activation-energy enzymes known as cryo-catalysts Cold Shock Proteins.
Furthermore, changes in ambient barometric pressure subtly alter the molecular packin…
