What is the optimum pH for enzymes in the liver?

The optimum pH for enzymes in the liver generally falls around 7.4, which is close to the neutral pH of human blood. This slightly alkaline environment supports the activity of key liver enzymes involved in metabolism and detoxification. However, specific enzymes may have varying optimum pH levels depending on their functions and the substrates they act upon. Overall, maintaining this pH is crucial for efficient enzymatic activity in the liver.
