Why does pepsin not digest protein at temperatures above 60 degrees?
Pepsin is an enzyme that works optimally at a specific temperature range, around 37 degrees Celsius. At temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius, the high heat denatures the pepsin enzyme, causing it to lose its structure and thus its ability to digest proteins effectively.
