Project Abstract

Abstract
Enzymes play a critical role in numerous biochemical processes within the human body, and their activity is influenced by various factors including pH levels. This research project aims to investigate the effects of different pH levels on enzyme activity in human saliva. The study will focus on understanding how changes in pH levels can impact the activity of enzymes present in saliva, which are essential for the initial stages of digestion.
