pH stability and activity curves of pepsin with special reference to their clinical importance.

Year: 1965

Type: article

Abstract: EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS A study of the effect ofpH on the stability and activity of pepsin showed that 70 % of maximal peptic activity was still present at pH 4 5 and that pepsin was irreversibly inacti- vated at pH 8.The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
