Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. Their activity is highly influenced by pH, which affects the enzyme’s structure and function.
Each enzyme has an optimal pH at which it exhibits maximum activity. This optimal pH varies depending on the enzyme and its function. For example, pepsin, a digestive enzyme in the stomach, works best in highly acidic conditions (pH 1.5–2), while trypsin, an enzyme in the small intestine, functions optimally in
