WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE ISOLATE PEPSIN AND PUT IT IN pH 7 SOLUTION?

If pepsin is isolated and placed in a pH 7 solution, it would likely become inactive or exhibit significantly reduced activity. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that is most active in the acidic environment of the stomach, typically around pH 1.5 to 2.5. At a neutral pH of 7, the enzyme's structure may change, leading to a loss of its ability to catalyze the breakdown of proteins efficiently.
