How are peptides and proteins similar?
Proteins are made up of one or more peptides.
What is the optimum pH for stomach protease?
Pepsin is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of proteins int peptides. Its optimum pH range is between 1 to 4.
Where can you Buy Tanning Injections?
Tanning injections can be bought at Buy USA Peptides. They are one of the leading manufacturers of research of peptides.
What are neuro peptides?
A type of neurotransmitter.
What enzyme breaks down peptides?
No
What is a myotoxin?
Myotoxins are small, basic peptides found in snake venoms, such as in that of certain rattlesnakes. This involves a non-enzymatic mechanism that leads to severe muscle necrosis. These peptides act very quickly, causing instantaneous paralysis to prevent prey from escaping and eventually death due to diaphragmactic paralysis.
Are there enzymes in the large intestine?
1. Amylases, Proteases and Lipases in pancreatic juice which secreted by pancreas.Amylase: catalses the breakdown of starch into maltose;Protease: cataylses the breakdown of protein into peptides, and peptides into amino acids,Lipase : cataylses the breakdown lipids into glycerol and fatty acids.2. Carbohydase and Proteases which found in the cell membranes of some specialised cells of the wall of the small intestine.Carbohydase: catalyses the breakdown of disaccharides into monosaccharidesProteases: cataylse the breakdown of peptides into amino acids.
What are the two compound of gastric juice?
The two compounds of gastric juice is the enzyme pepsin, which digests and catalyzes the breakdown of protein into peptides. The other compound is hydrochloric acid, but I'm not sure what it does.
How are peptides and proteins similar?
Proteins are made up of one or more peptides.
Difference between protease and proteinase?
Proteases: Any of various enzymes, including the endopeptidases and exopeptidases, that catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins into peptides or amino acids. Poteinases: A protease that begins the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins, usually by splitting them into polypeptide chains. It is also a synonym of endopeptidases (e.g. pepsin, trypsin, or papain). Note: Protease - endo- & exo- peptidases; Catalyze hydrolytic breakdown Proteinase - endo-peptidases; Begins hydrolytic breakdown by splitting
Are polypeptides a carbohydrate?
No. Peptides are strings of amino acids. These proteins (peptides) are folded and coiled into polypeptides.
What all do enzymes do?
Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical reactions. They may bring together the necessary reactants or may facilitate the degradation of species, as in the digestion of proteins to peptides.
Why is a second messenger not necessary in a steroid hormone?
Steroid hormones act in the transcriptional level in the nucleus of a cell, due to their ability to travel through cell membranes (hydrophillic). Second messengers are necessary for hormones that cannot penetrate cell membranes (peptides).
What is the optimum pH for stomach protease?
Pepsin is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of proteins int peptides. Its optimum pH range is between 1 to 4.
MHC antigens are?
Peptides
Do polysaccharides have peptides?
no. they are carbohydrates
What are messenger molecules?
Peptides
