Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Enzymes play a crucial role in biochemical reactions by catalyzing specific reactions within the cellular environment. The activity of enzymes is highly influenced by various factors, with pH being one of the most critical determinants. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different pH levels on enzyme activity in vitro, focusing on understanding how pH alterations impact enzyme function. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, highlighting the significance of studying enzyme activity in different pH environments. The background of the study discusses the basic principles of enzymes, pH, and their relationship, leading to the formulation of the research problem statement. The objectives of the study outline the specific goals and aims of the research, while the limitations and scope of the study define the boundaries and constraints within which the research was conducted. The significance of the study underscores the potential contributions and implications of the research findings, and the structure of the thesis outlines the organization of the subsequent chapters. Finally, the definition of terms clarifies key concepts and terminology used throughout the thesis. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review that synthesizes existing knowledge on enzyme activity and pH effects. The review covers key studies and findings related to enzyme structure, function, and the influence of pH on enzyme activity.
