The rate of enzyme function can be measured and studied by having an enzyme catalyze reactions in different temperatures, in different pH, in different concentrations of substrates, etc. to see how the enzyme functions if one variable is changed slightly. These are all variable that impact an enzyme’s productivity, so picking any one of these variables ]or some other variable that impacts enzyme functioning] and modifying it slightly as you measure the change in productivity can help study the rate at which an enzyme functions. Depending on the enzyme and variable used/ manipulated, different equipment will be needed for the experiment. If I were measuring the rate of enzymatic activity in different pH, I would need to add acid or base to an enzyme in it’s natural environment, then measure the change in time, or change in production of the product.
