Best Answer

Pepsin (excreted by glands in the stomach) digest proteins into polypeptides in the stomach, whereas the trypsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) digest proteins into polypeptides in the small intestine. Then the erepsin (excreted by pancreas in the pancreatic juice) further digest them into amino acids.

Proteins are polypeptides. Can you be more specific with your question? Enzymes would be a possible, but very broad, answer.

In the digestive system the enzymes are called: pepsin, trypsin, chymotripsin, carboxypeptidase, dipeptidase and aminopeptidase.

What enzymes turn protein into amino acids what are the names of the enzymes?

All Enzymes are basically proteins. Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. Another Answer No enzyme 'turns' a protein into multiple amino acids. What an enzyme may do is split a protein down to its substituent amino acids. (Proteins are inherently long stings of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.) The group of enzymes that split proteins (hydrolyse proteins) to their single amino acids are called proteases. Pepsin is a protease released by the stomach. Trypsin is a protease released by the pancreas.
