Amylase works best at body temperature, which is around 37 degrees Celsius. This is because if the temperatre is too low, the amylase will collide slow as the kinetic energy will be low. It reacts fastest and best in this temperatue as lota of kinetic energy is given to the molecules and the particles therefore collide faster. Although, when the temperature is too high, the enzymes (amylase) gets denatured which means that they loose their shape. This way they do not react.
