Question

Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that functions best at an acidic pH (~ 1.0- 2.0 pH). What would happen if pepsin were to be placed in a basic pH solution? {Note: Your answer should discuss the effect of pH on enzyme activity AND terminology around the state of the 3D structure of the enzyme in this altered pH condition.}
