Can pepsin be boiled?
yes it can be boiled yes it can be boiled
What are the enzymes produced in the stomach?
The main enzyme in the Stomach is Pepsin which is used to digest protein. Only protein digestion occurs in the stomach and almostt no absorption, (only a little alcohol). This protein is not secreted as its active form (ie not as pepsin) but as the Zymogen (the inactive precursor to proteins) Pepsinogen which cleaves in a low pH to form the active enzyme.
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
Why doesn't boiled pepsin break down gelatin?
Gelatin is almost entirely protein. As pepsin is a protease, its job is to facilitate the break down of protein into amino acids. When the enzyme is boiled, it becomes denatured, which prevents it binding to the substrate. As a result of this, the digestion of gelatin cannot take place, so the digestion of gelatin ceases.
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.
what occurs in stomach?
muscle churn the food pepsin and hydrochloric acid chemically breaks down food food turns into liquid called chyme.

Is pepsin a carbohydrate?
No, pepsin is a protein digestive enzyme.
What enzyme contained in gastric juice?
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
What does the pepsin have to do with the digestion system?
When you eat, your body needs to digest the food and turn it into a form that the body can use for nutritional purposes. Digestion refers to the chemical breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules that can then be used by cells. This process occurs when certain enzymes are mixed with the food. One of those enzymes is pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin; pepsin is important because it digests proteins.
