Most arginases have an alkaline pH optimum, with maximal velocities observed in the range of pH 9.0-9.5. For the rat liver enzyme, plots of logVmax versus pH provide a pK value of ∼7.8-8.0, while pK values of 7.8 and 7.9 have been reported for the human liver and mouse liver enzymes.

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.
What is the enzyme's optimum pH?
I believe it's 7.3, the pH of human blood, as most enzymatic reactions occur there. However, there are special enzymes, such as the ones which are in the stomach, which work best at around a pH of 2.
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 has a pH 8 optimum digests polypeptides into peptides?
trypsin
What pH does pepsin work best at?
The optimum pH of catalase is 10. At low pH values, the protein may denature or change its structure. this may affect the enzymes ability to recognize a substrate or it may alter its polarity within a cell.
What is the optimum pH of elastases?
The optimum pH is 8.8
What is the pH optimum of alpha amylase?
The optimum pH is neutral, 7.
What is the optimum PH of lactase catalyzed reaction?
The optimum pH of lactase is pH = 6.5.
What effect would a higher pH have on the temperatures optimum for invertase?
The temperature optimum can be affected by pH if the pH chosen for a particular experiment deviates from the pH optimum for invertase
What happens at optimum pH?
Well without specifying the parameters its impossible to say; the definition of optimum pH would be, the pH at which point the optimum results of a reaction are achieved.
What is the optimum pH of Chymotrypsin?
pH optimum: 7.8 (pH 6.0: about 35% of maximal activity, pH 9.3: 40% of maximal activity)
Optimum pH of sweet potato amylase?
optimum pH of amylase from sweet potato is about 6.0
What is the pH optimum for catalase?
7
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.
What is the optimum pH for stomach protease?
Pepsin is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of proteins int peptides. Its optimum pH range is between 1 to 4.
What will be the pH of saline?
The optimum pH for this would be pH 7.4, almost neutral.
What is the optimal pH of sucrase?
The optimum pH for sucrase is 2.0
