Q. Since pepsin is a gastric enzyme does it have a basic or an acid optimum pH? What happens to pepsin when it passes into the duodenum?

Pepsin acts contained by the stomach so its optimum pH is around 2, an acid pH. When the enzyme passes into the duodenum it meets a higher pH and its enzyme activity ends.
