Answer:

pepsin would either work at extremely slow pace or get denatured.

The activity of pepsin would be inhibited if put in a neutral solution.

Pepsin is one of the enzymes found in the gastric juice of the stomach. It is a protease that digests protein into polypeptides , which are intermediate products of protein digestion.

A neutral solution is a solution that contains hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions at equal concentration.

But Pepsin works best in an acidic medium which is provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted in the stomach.

Therefore when pepsin is put in a neutral solution, the activities would be inhibited.
