The effect of increasing pH beyond an enzyme’s optimum value typically leads to a loss of activity due to:

  • Substrate denaturation.
  • Protonation or deprotonation of amino acid residues in the active site.
  • Increased kinetic energy of the enzyme.
  • Formation of excessive enzyme-product complexes.
