It takes over three hours to break down and assimilate proteins. Protein molecules are long chains with well-soldered links, and to break down their resistance requires the combination of good chewing and a barrage of various gastric, pancreatic, and biliary juices.
In general terms, proteins are molecules consisting of one or more polypeptide chains. Proteins can be formed by about 40 to over 4000 amino acid residues, and to have a molecular mass from around 4 daltons to over 440 kD. Moreover, depending upon its function, proteins can be formed by a single or multiple sub-units, can be a single polypeptide chain or be constituted by several side chains forming branches, be long fiber structures or globular molecules, just to put a few examples.
Whey protein will stay in your body about 2.5 hours. Casein protein about 8 hours.
The size of proteins varies from few kDa (Trp-cage consist of 20amino acids only!) to mega Dalton (titin and nuclear pore protein complexes)

Yes, but it will take about 500 to 1000 years.
About an hour.
It takes 500 to 1000 years.
You don't exactly need a protein shake before your workout. A protein shake is best taken right after you are finished with your workout. After your workout your muscles have begun to break down and the faster you take in some protein the faster your muscles will recover. I would only recommend taking protein at other times of the day if you are not recieving the approximate amount of protein you need through your diet.
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.
take it down
it takes more than 2min.
it takes 20 years approximetly to break down.
The water will not ever break down. You will need to remove it.
forever.....
50 years!!!!
no
take an axe to it or a sword
4 minutes
It takes 500 years to brake down.
