The efficiency of enzymatic reactions is severely affected by extreme deviations from optimal pH because:

  • The substrate concentration changes.
  • The enzyme's amino acid side chains become ionized or de-ionized, altering the active site's charge and shape.
  • The activation energy is increased to an unmanageable level.
  • The enzyme molecules polymerize.
