What is the pH of Pepsin in NaOH?
it depends on the concentration of NaOH, pepsin, buffer used, ... that cannot be answered in that way...
Optimum pH level for enzymes?
It depends of the enzyme. For instance. Amylase in the mouth has a higher pH than say pepsin in the stomach.
What is the pH of pepsin?
2.3
Do you expect that optimal PH for pepsin would be the same as that for rennin?
The optimal pH for pepsin and rennin is about the same, 2.0 and 3.4 respectively. Pepsin is slightly more acidic.
Why is pepsin stable at a low pH?
Pepsin is a an acidic proteolytic enzyme activated from its precursor pepsinogen. Pepsin exhibits optimal activit at pH 1.5 to 2. It is highly active and stable at acidic pH and can be inactivated by pH 8.5 -11. Their amino acid composition is the reason for its stability.

Does the effectiveness of pepsin depend on pH?
yuppp that's why the stomach acid is so acidic, it will only work in a very acidic environment
Does pepsin affect pH?
Pepsin doesn't affect the pH but it is active in an acidic environment.
Optimum pH level for enzymes?
It depends of the enzyme. For instance. Amylase in the mouth has a higher pH than say pepsin in the stomach.
What is the pH for pepsin?
Pepsin is a type of protease that works mainly in the stomach. As a result, its optimum pH is around 2. The high acidity is provided by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
During digestion the pH in the stomach is 2 What does this indicate about the optimum pH of pepsin?
Pepsin is therefore acidic since the pH in the stomach is 2
What is the pH of pepsin?
2.3
Is the optimal pH of trypsin acidic or basic?
The optimum PH of pepsin ranges between 1.0 and 4.0. Pepsin exhibits about 90 percent of the maximum activity and about 35% of the maximum activity.
Do you expect that optimal PH for pepsin would be the same as that for rennin?
The optimal pH for pepsin and rennin is about the same, 2.0 and 3.4 respectively. Pepsin is slightly more acidic.
Compare the optimum pH levels for trypsin and pepsin. how is the optimal pH level of pepsin relevant to it's particular location in the body?
pepsin is found in the stomach and the pH there is 2 while trypsin is found in the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum) and the pH there is 8-9. Thus, the optimum pH levels for pepsin and trypsin are 2 and 8-9 respectively.
What effect the pH have on protein digestion with pepsin?
It is most effective at around pH 2, and becomes inactive over 5.
Why is pepsin stable at a low pH?
Pepsin is a an acidic proteolytic enzyme activated from its precursor pepsinogen. Pepsin exhibits optimal activit at pH 1.5 to 2. It is highly active and stable at acidic pH and can be inactivated by pH 8.5 -11. Their amino acid composition is the reason for its stability.
