Does PH change the shape of the active site of an enzyme?

Enzymes have different optimum pH levels. Trypsin, which is found in the intestines has an optimum pH of 8-9. Higher or lower than that, its activity decreases until it reaches to a level where the H-bonds holding the protein structure is destroyed. A loss of structure means a loss of function, therefore the enzyme has been denatured. Pepsin on the other hand operates at a more acidic pH, typically 1.5-2. The enzyme, salivary amylase has an optimum pH of 7. In the body, the optimum pH of enzymes vary, the optimum temperature however is close to body temperature, which is 37C or 98.6F. Extreme heat denatures the enzyme, cold on the other hand, only INHIBITS it.


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.
