H+ and OH- Ions are charged and therefore interfere with Hydrogen and Ionic bonds that hold together an enzyme, since they will be attracted or repelled by the charges created by the bonds. This interference causes a change in shape of the enzyme, and importantly, its Active Site.

Thank you for the quick reply. So, if those H+ and OH- interfere with the enzyme bonds, how is it resistant to pH?
