Question

Proteins generally have definite shapes and sizes at particular conditions of pH and temperature. Enzymes are also proteins. What do you think the role of their shape plays during hydrolysis of fats, proteins and carbohydrates?

Answer 1

Hydrolysis reaction rate depend on pH value,rate of hydrolysis decrease by an increase in pH.If we change pH than it will change the shape of the Enzyme as we already know so shape change in indirect way will change the rate of Hydrolysis.
