Chapter 4, Problem 25RA

Summary Introduction

To review:

The pH (potential of hydrogen) values of half maximal activity of pepsin.

Introduction:

Enzymes catalyse the biochemical reactions to speed up the product formations. Most of the enzymes are protein in nature. The enzymes require optimum temperature and pH to perform efficiently. The rise in temperature results the in degradation of the enzyme and the low temperature inactivates the enzymes.
