Enzyme catalysts differ from inorganic catalysts in many ways, but one major difference is that inorganic catalysts work efficiently at high temperatures and high pressures, while enzymes get damaged at high temperatures (say above 
). However, enzymes isolated from organisms who normally live under extremely high temperature (
., hot vents and sulphur springs), are stable and retain their catalytic power even at high temperatures (up to 80-90
). Thermal stability is thus, an important quality of such enzymes isolated from thermophilic organisms
