At what pH would the enzyme be most effective? Making the world better, one answer at a time. It depends on what type of Enzyme. Enzymes have different optimum pH depending on the environment they work in, for example and enzyme in the stomach of a human would have a pH of about 2 but an enzyme in human saliva has an optimum pH of 5.6.

How does temperature and pH effect the function of enzymes? Typically, a protein will work best at about 40oC and pH 7. The activity approximately halves with every 10oC drop in temperature between 0 and 40. The activity with varying pH resembles a normal distribution curve. Raising the temperature will denature an enzyme so that it is no longer functional.

Enzymes At extremes of pH or temperature, either high or low, the native structure of the enzyme will be compromised, and the molecule will become inactive (see Figure 3). Note that there is a sharp decrease in the temperature optimum for typical human enzymes at approximately 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). At temperatures greater than 40 Figure 3.

The effect of pH on enzyme actvity The pH of a solution can have several effects of the structure and activity of enzymes. For example, pH can have an effect of the state of ionization of acidic or basic amino acids. Acidic amino acids have carboxyl functional groups in their side chains.

LabBench Activity pH and Enzyme Function Each enzyme functions best within a certain pH range. For example, the enzyme pepsin, which works in your stomach, functions best in a strongly acidic environment. Lipase, an enzyme found in your small intestine, works best in a basic environment. When the pH changes, the active site progressively distorts and affects enzyme function.

Why enzyme activity is affected by pH The majority of enzymes have an optimum pH of around 7, which is neutral. The optimum pH of an enzyme means that the concentration of H + ions in the solution is the right concentration to give the tertiary structure of the enzyme its best overall shape.

Introduction to Enzymes Effects of pH. Enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value-the point where the enzyme is most active-is known as the optimum pH. This is graphically illustrated in Figure 14. Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.

- Most enzymes have a pH range at which they work best, their optimum pH (Investigations 6a). This often matches the pH of the environment where they operate. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that works in the stomach; it has an optimum activity at pH2 ¾ roughly the pH of the stomach juices.

What Buffers to use? Choice of Buffer pH Optimum buffering capacity occurs at a pH equal to the pKa of the buffer. In general, the effective pH range for a buffer is within ± 1 pH unit of it’s pKa. Table 1 indicates the pH range of some common buffers. The buffer pH should be selected so that it is at least ± 1 pH units from the pKa of the analyte.

- The optimum temperature of the amylase was determined. B. Effect of pH One mL of acetate buffer (pH 4) and one mL 2% unbuffered starch were mixed in a large test tube. Two mL of the enzyme solution was added in a separate large test tube.Both the test tubes were incubated for ten minutes in a 37°C water bath.esults and Discussion The effect of temperature and pH on the enzymatic activity of salivary amylase was determined by measuring the rates of reaction in varying temperatures and pH. The 0.5% NaCl added in the enzyme solution activates the salivary amylase to perform its function – to hydrolyze starch.

- pH and enzymes. Changes in pH also alter an enzyme’s shape. Different enzymes work best at different pH values. The optimum pH for an enzyme depends on where it normally works. For example, intestinal enzymes have an optimum pH of about 7.5. Enzymes in the stomach have an optimum pH of about 2. Graph of enzyme activity against pH. Page: 1  1. 2  2. 3  3. 4  4.

Pectinase Optimum environment. As with all enzymes, pectinases have an optimum temperature and pH at which they are most active. For example, a commercial pectinase might typically be activated at 45 to 55 °C and work well at a pH of 3.0 to 6.5. Pectinase is commonly used in fruit industries to speed up fruit juice extraction.
