What else can I help you with?
What are the differences between pepsin and pepsinogen?
pepsinogen makes pepsin
Can pepsin and trypsin function in the same environment-?
no they can not because they at completely different pH levels.
Optimum temperature of pepsin?
The optimum temperature for pepsin is between 30 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. Activity has been reported outside of this range.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
What type of molecules do pepsin create?
Pepsin is an enzyme that is produced in the stomach. It splits protein molecules in order to create proteoses and peptones.
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 are processes in digestion of foods?
Foods are digested differently for certain people. Typically, pepsin from the stomach is used to digest proteins, and amylase from the liver is used to digest carbohydrates.
What is the difference between pepsin and pepsinogen?
Pepsin is a powerful protein digesting enzyme which is far too dangerous in its active form so it is released in an inactive pepsinogen form by the cell and activated only in the digestive tract where it is required to be active.
What would happen if pepsin was mixed with glucose?
Pepsin is an enzyme that primarily breaks down proteins into smaller peptides in the acidic environment of the stomach. If pepsin were mixed with glucose, there would be no significant reaction, as glucose is a simple sugar and not a protein. Pepsin does not act on carbohydrates, so the glucose would remain unchanged in this mixture. Therefore, the interaction between pepsin and glucose would not produce any meaningful biochemical effect.
Is pepsin a protein?
Yes, pepsin is a protein.
Where are enzymes active in the body at pH 4 and 5?
Enzymes are active in the stomach, which has an acidic pH between 1.5 and 3.5. At this pH, pepsin is an enzyme that digests proteins. Enzymes in the body typically have optimal pH ranges where they are most active.
