| Front | How does pH affect enzyme activity? |
|---|---|
| Back | A change in pH alters the charges on the amino acids that make up the active site of the enzyme. therefore the substrate can no longer become attached to the active site and so the enzyme substrate complex cannot be formed. the change in pH alter the hydrogen and ionic bonds in the enzymes structure. |
