Is pepsin and lipase a chemical reaction?
Pepsin and lipase are chemical compounds, not reactions.
Is effect of pepsin on proteins a chemical reaction?
Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.
When the enzyme reaction is complete can pepsin be resued?
yes
Why is HCl used to start the pepsin reaction?
To denature the protein. Pepsin can work pnly if the secondary structure of the protein is broken up.
How is rate of pepsin catalyzed reaction affected by using less pepsin?
Well using less pepsin means you have less of the enzyme. Now if you keep the substrate / enzyme ratio constant there won't be anything changing. If you however decrease the pepsin amount, there will be less active sites for the same amount of substrate to bind. ---> slower reaction
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
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.
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!
