What is pepsin responsible for?
1. Pepsin is the important digestive enzyme of the stomach. 2. Pepsin can essentially digest any protein in the diet. 3. Lacking sufficient pepsin, protein foods are poorly penetrated by other digestive enzymes further on and are thus poorly digested.
What is the name of a gastric protease?
Pepsin
In the stomach the protein is digested by?
That is a proteolytic enzyme. Name of the enzyme is pepsin. It is secreted as inactive pepsinogen, which become active when it comes in contact with the hydrochloric acid, in the stomach.
Was there any digested BAPNA contamination the pepsin or deionized water?
no
Is there any digested BAPNA contaminating the pepsin or deionized water?
no
Why enzyme like pepsin only break down proteins and not other molecules?
The enzymes like pepsin break down the proteins and not the other molecules because they are themselves protein.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
Why pepsin is inactive in small intestine?
pepsin and all other digestive enzymes are neutralized by the small intestine
What effect does freezing have on pepsin activity?
Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.
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
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.
