Source sentences:
text: Other enzymes function best at low pH (high acidity) because of the demands of their environment; for example, the inside of the stomach, where some digestive enzymes operate, is highly acidic.
text: As the pH is lowered an enzyme will tend to gain H+ ions, and eventually enough side chains will be affected so the enzyme’s shape is disrupted.
text: Some enzymes, such as pepsin, which acts in the human stomach where the pH is very low, have a low pH optimum.
