Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides).
The reaction is :
Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.

A special class of proteins that control chemical reactions?
A substance that enhances a chemical reaction is a catalyst. Certain proteins that are catalysts are called enzymes. An example of an enzyme is pepsin.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
Is food reacting with pepsin a chemical or mechanical change?
This is a chemical change. Pepsin catalyzes the chemical breakdown of food.
What effect the pH have on protein digestion with pepsin?
It is most effective at around pH 2, and becomes inactive over 5.
Why can pepsin not be produced in its active form?
Pepsin degrades proteins so if it was active it would immediately begin digesting all the proteins in the cell. Therefore it is produced from a precursor known as a zymogen or proenzyme. Pepsin's proenzyme form is pepsinogen which is transformed to the activated pepsin protein.

Is pepsin and lipase a chemical reaction?
Pepsin and lipase are chemical compounds, not reactions.
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.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
Are pepsin and trypsin classified as sugars?
pepsin and trypsin are classified as proteins
What is the reaction for pepsin?
it is the
Lipase are to lipids as pepsin is to?
pepsin is used to degrade food proteins to peptides.
How do you xxplain what pepsin is?
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme in the stomach, breaking down proteins into polypeptides.
Is food reacting with pepsin a chemical or mechanical change?
This is a chemical change. Pepsin catalyzes the chemical breakdown of food.
What are a good list of proteins?
Examples of proteins are albumin, hemoglobin, and pepsin.
Pepsin and trypsin are classified as what?
They are classified as proteins
What simpler substances are proteins digested in to?
Pepsin
