Different enzymes work better under different conditions. Where in a human body might it be beneficial to have enzymes that work well in very acidic environments?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "enzymes 'acidic environment'" to get these possible sources:

There are more sites available. Use <Find> to search for "acidic" within the sites.

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
