Each enzyme has an optimum pH but it also has a working range of pH values at which it will still work well. This depends on the type of enzyme. The enzyme pepsin breaks down proteins in the acidic conditions of the stomach. ... Catalase has an optimum pH of 9 and a working range of between pH 7-11. Hope this was helpful
