Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids.
(If you meant protein then the same is true)

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 class or group of enzymes breaks down proteins?
The protease ensymes are digestive ensyme that break down protein.
Which enzyme breaks down protien?
proteases - apex
What is a chemotrypsin?
Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme belonging to the serine protease group. It is secreted by the pancreas and used to break down proteins in the small intestine.
What are Protein hydrolyzing enzymes known as?
Proteases or peptidases are the enzymes that catalyze the breakdown (hydrolysis) of proteins into shorter chains of peptides or into their constituent amino acids. Note the process of protein hydrolysis is called proteolysis.
What essential nutrient does protease break down?
A protease is an enzyme that breaks down protein.
What enzymes break down gelatin?
Protease enzymes
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.
Why is protease made?
To break down proteins into their amino acids
What are the functions of protease?
Protease is an enzyme that works to break down proteins into their basic amino acids. Specifically, it is any enzyme that performs proteolysis.
Does amylase break down tissue meat?
No, you need protease to break down meat.
What class or group of enzymes breaks down proteins?
The protease ensymes are digestive ensyme that break down protein.
Which substrate is digested by the enzyme protease?
Proteases break down proteins by hydrolysis (addition of a water molecule to break a bond) into amino acids. The substrate the protease enzyme works on is protein. Enzymes are often named for the substrates they catalyse (or break down).
What produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins called?
Amylase for carbs Protease for protein
Where is protease used?
A protease is an enzyme that helps the process to break down proteins. Any word with -ase at the end is an enzyme. The rest of the word is the substrate or what is acted upon.
What are three digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates fats and proteins?
carbohydrase lipase and protease amylase
What enzyme breaks down polypetides?
Enzymes that break down proteins are called a protease. There are many different enzymes that break down many different polypeptides. Usually they will end in the suffix "-in".
