Activity at this pH100%
- Select pepsin and find the pH where it's most active (around pH 2)
- Select amylase and set the pH to its neutral optimum (around pH 7)
- Find a pH where trypsin is highly active (above 80%) while pepsin would be almost shut down (below 10%)
- Now the reverse: find a pH where pepsin thrives (above 80%) while trypsin would be almost shut down (below 10%)
- Select lipase and get its activity above 90%
