Why do enzymes in our stomach work best at a pH of 7? Actually the pH of the stomach very acid relative to pH 7 (between pH 1-4). An acidic stomach is optimal for the breaking of hydrogen bonds that makes up the complex compoundsâ¦ in the food we ingest, like proteins.
How Enzymes work. 1. Enzymes catalyse only those reactions that happen naturally. 2. Enzymes are specific: each enzyme is responsible for only 1 kind of reaction, because they are shaped to work with only a certain substrate that matches enzyme's active site. 3. Enzyme changes its conformation when substrate bonds to its active site.
