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 breaks down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
What is the function of protease?
To bind into to target sequences of the proteins, split them into to polypeptide chains or amino acids. So, to say simply, it degrades protein. An example to it is Pepsin.
What enzymes break down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
Is pepsin a carbohydrate?
No, pepsin is a protein digestive enzyme.
What enzyme contained in gastric juice?
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
Which is not found in the mouth pepsin or ptyalin?
Pepsin is not found in mouth!
What are the differences between pepsin and pepsinogen?
pepsinogen makes pepsin
Is protein larger in size compared to a polypeptide?
A protein is a polypeptide.
