What is the effect of pH upon the relative enzyme activity?
Different enzymes work best at different pH. This is refered to as the ideal pH for the enzyme. For example, the digestive enzyme trypsin works best at an acidic pH while alkaline phosphatase works best at a basic pH. Therefore, enzyme activity varies with pH and this variation depends on the enzyme being studied
Pepsin a digestive enzyme found in the stomach works best at a pH near?
Pepsin works best in acidic environments and it's optimal pH (the pH at which it works best) is 2.0
What is a gastric protease?
It is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach and used to digest proteins to polypeptides. It works best in acidic conditions
Why does pepsin work best at 37 degrees C?
Pepsin works best at 37 C because that is it's optimal temperature. The temperature at which it works best. Every enzyme has one which is based on the molecular geometry and binding of the protein...
What happens at the optimum temperature at enzyme?
It means the highest (and best) temperature an enzyme can work until it gets denatured (active site is re-shaped therefore substrate is unable to fit into it anymore). Hope it helped :)
What enzyme works best in alkaline?
37.5 centigrade.
What is the true relationship between pH and enzyme action?
The enzyme has an optimal point of pH at which the enzyme works best. For example a catalase enzyme works best in a pH of 7. When the pH changes it denatures the enzyme causing it to not be able to react with the substrate.

What is the optimum temperature for enzyme 2?
55 CThis enzyme works best at a temperature of 50 C and a pH of 12.If the enzyme will be above this temperature, it will denature.
Pepsin a digestive enzyme found in the stomach works best at a pH near?
Pepsin works best in acidic environments and it's optimal pH (the pH at which it works best) is 2.0
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
What is a gastric protease?
It is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach and used to digest proteins to polypeptides. It works best in acidic conditions

Why does work best at 37 degrees?
Pepsin works best at 37 C because that is it's optimal temperature. The temperature at which it works best. Every enzyme has one which is based on the molecular geometry and binding of the protein. it is also the same degrees of the core body temperature.
How might very low pH affect an enzyme's hydrogen bonds?
A very low pH can break the hydrogen bonds in an enzyme which causes the shape of the enzyme to change shape making the enzyme unable to do it's job. This is called "denaturation" However some enzymes such as pepsin only work in a low pH (pepsin works best in a pH of about 3) so it does depend on the enzyme.
What is the material in which an enzyme acts?
What refers to the set of conditions including oh temperature and or light under which a certain type of protein cell works best
What are the optimum temperature and the optimum pH of an enzyme?
Every enzyme works at its maximum rate at a specific temprature called as optimum temprature for that enzyme. AND all enzymes work at their maximum rate at narrow range of pH, called as optimum pH. A slight increase or decrease in pH causes the retardation in enzyme activity or blocks it completely.
