LITERATURE
5
-
enzyme retains activity at pH 5 and below under conditions of excess substrate activation
5 - 7.5
-
a decrease in pH from 7.5 to 5.0 is accompanied by a 20fold drop in the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of acetylcholine and a 5fold decrease in the case of phenylacetate. In the case of indophenyl acetate and 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenyl acetate, only a 2.5fold decrease is detected
5 - 8
-
the enzyme shows very low (but non-zero) activity at pH 5.0, with a gradual rise in activity to pH 8.0
5.5 - 8.5
6 - 10
-
pH 6.0 and pH 10.0 25% of maximal activity
6 - 8.5
-
increasing activity with increasing pH
6.5 - 8.5
-
80% of maximal activity within this range
