umm.. when the milk clots(RENNIN+CASEIN), it clots fastest at 50-60 degrees right?

does this represent fast (optimal) enzyme activity or does it represent denaturation of the active site? im kinda lost.

for some reason the optimum temp is 30-40 but 30-40 took the longest out of em all...

The optimal temperature must be where it clots faster. If the enzyme was being denatured it would be slower to clot (ie not optimum). Are you sure you got the numbers right?
