Why doesn't boiled pepsin break down gelatin?
Gelatin is almost entirely protein. As pepsin is a protease, its job is to facilitate the break down of protein into amino acids. When the enzyme is boiled, it becomes denatured, which prevents it binding to the substrate. As a result of this, the digestion of gelatin cannot take place, so the digestion of gelatin ceases.

Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?

Where is pepsin produced What is the effect of pepsin on protein?
Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.
Is pepsin a carbohydrate?

What enzyme contained in gastric juice?
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
Which is not found in the mouth pepsin or ptyalin?

What are the differences between pepsin and pepsinogen?
pepsinogen makes pepsin
Pepsin is an enzyme released by the?
pepsin is a enzyme secreted by the gastric glands
Are pepsin and trypsin classified as sugars?
pepsin and trypsin are classified as proteins
Is pepsin a polypeptide?
Pepsinogen is the proenzyme of pepsin. Pepsinogen is inactive, it is metabolized into the enzyme pepsin which break down proteins into small molecules.
