What would happen to the rate of activity if you place Pepsin in the small intestine with a pH of 6?

Answer:

When it reaches the duodenum, though, it assumes an inactive form as the pH rises above 6. Pepsins are secreted by Brunner's glands of the duodenum, and the crypts of Lieberkühn of the small intestine secrete an aqueous fluid.
