too high or too low pH denatures the enzymes. you will get a small reaction with a base or acid. neutral pH level maximizes reactions

What pH do neither enzymes work in?
at a ph of 13
Which organ secrets enzymes that are active at a low pH?
The stomach secretes protease enzymes that work best at a pH of around 2.
Enzymes are affected by both pH and?
temperture.
What are the three things that effect enzymes?
Following are the factors affectingenzymes:SalinityTemperatureInhibitorsAllosteric factorspH levelSubstate concentrationCatalystEnzyme concentration
What is the optimum pH range for enzymes?
enzymes found in human bodies require different pH . like pepsin requires 1 or 2 to work, while trypsin requires 8. but overall the pH ranges from 6-8 for optimum efficiency
What effect enzymes activity?
Temperature, pH, substrate concentration
How does pH levels effect an enzyme?
All enxymes work at an optimum pH. Changes in pH levels could change the rate at which the enzymes work by denaturing them.
What effect does temp and pH have on enzymes?
enzymes require specific temperature and pH in order to work properly. Otherwise, the temperature or pH change their conformation or disable their ability to bind the substrate because the required electrostatic interactions might not happen under different pH.
Are pH level and enzymes related?
Most enzymes only work in a certain pH range; pH is not dependent on the presence of enzymes, however.
What are the two environmental factors that effect the function of enzymes?
tempeture,ph, solute concentration and salt content
How does substrate concentration and pH affect enzymes?
Substrate concentration will affect enzymes because substrates are specific to enzymes. The pH will affect enzymes because certain enzymes will work better in certain pH levels.
How pH effects Stability and Activity of Enzymes?
Enzymes are very pH-sensitive. Any change in pH results in denaturing of proteins.
Can enzymes work over a broad range of PH levels?
Most enzymes work best at a certain pH, however there are some enzymes that can operate over a broad pH range.
What is the effect of excess heat or pH on an enzyme?
it can change the shape of enzymes & active site so the enzyme is unable to work
What happens to enzymes at a low pH?
The activity of the enzymes depends on the specific pH needed.
What pH do neither enzymes work in?
at a ph of 13
Why does must pH be controlled around enzymes?
Enzymes are designed to work at their optimum pH. This is the level at which they will work the fastest. If the pH around an enzyme becomes too high or too low, the protein structure of the enzyme will be denatured. This is a irreversible effect, and the enzyme cannot carry out its function, and is thus useless (you can think of it as dead)
