Which statement about the effect of pH on enzyme-controlled reactions is not correct?

A

All human enzymes have an optimum pH of approximately 7.4.

B

Extreme pH values can break ionic and hydrogen bonds, disrupting the tertiary structure of the enzyme.

C

Changes in pH can alter the ionization (charge) of amino acid R-groups in the active site.

D

Small deviations from the optimum pH can reduce the reaction rate without causing permanent denaturation.
