How does ph effect enzyme regulation?
The rate of reaction many also be increased by raising concentration of the enzyme or the substrate. The pH of the surroundings is also important. The pH inside the cell is around neutral (pH7), and not surprisingly, most enzymes have evolved to work best at that pH. At extremes of pH either side of neutral, the enzyme activity decreases. The pH at which the enzyme works best at is called the optimum pH for that enzyme. u can also say: enzymes need a ‘special’ pH for the to work as (optimum pH), if the pH goes below the optimum from either sides the enzymes become denatured.
