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 proteolytic enzymes and what do they make?
Proteolytic enzymes break down proteans into their constituent chemicals (amino acids) they help in digestion.
Does your body burn protein?
No, your body cannot use it, amino acids break down the protein into its useable form.
When proteins are made from amino acids is it a chemical or physical change?
Chemical, enzymes break peptide bonds in proteins. Thus, separating the amino acids and breaking apart the molecule.
What do protease break down into?
Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids. (If you meant protein then the same is true)
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.
Do restriction enzymes break down protein into amino acids?
No, they cut DNA.
How you can isolate free amino acid from protein?
Amino acids can be isolated from proteins via hydrolysis. The simplest way to do this is to use enzymes to break down the protein into individual amino acid constituents.
What is the normal use of protein in the body?
Proteins are made up from 'building blocks' called amino acids. When consumed, enzymes break protein down into these base amino acids. They can then be used in other parts of the body, as many parts are made from protein.
What does digestion do to the protein you eat?
Digestion breaks apart the proteins using specific enzymes (catalysts to speed up reactions) to make amino acids and then those amino acids are sorted and used throughout your body.
Do enzymes break down into simple sugars?
No, protein is broken down into amino acids. Simple sugars are only formed when carbohydrates are digested.
Lysomes use their enzymes to break proteins into?
The lysosomes break proteins into Amino Acids
What enzymes break down bread?
Type your answer here... amino acids
Does pepsin work on protein?
Yes this enzyme Pepsin serves a link to amino acids and collaborate to break down dietary protein into their components. Other enzymes are Trypsin and Chymotrypsin.
Aminopeptidases are digested enzymes present in the?
These are enzymes found in the digestive system. They are produced in the pancreas and the mucous of the small intestine. Their purpose is to break down protein and piptide chains into amino acids.
Is pancreatic enzymes the final break down of carbohydrates amino acids and nucleic acids?
i don't like you :(
Why most your body break down large proteins into amino acids in your intestines?
because it has lots of enzymes that help to break down those large proteins into amino acids!
During digestion what organs produces enzymes that break the food into glucose or sugars amino acids fatty acids and nucleic acids?
Pancreas
