Pepsin, a bovine gastric mucosa enzyme, cleaves peptide bonds of polypeptides specifically to the amino side when the amino acid is a Leucine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, or Tyrosine, but not if the terminal carboxyl of the previous amino acid, of the peptide bond to be cleaved, is a Proline.

Which enzyme shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH?
The enzyme with lowest pH optimum is pepsin. Pepsin works in the stomach in an acidic environment and aids in digestion.
What is the enzyme called that acts upon the substrate pepsin?
food acted up on by the enzyme for pepsin
In the stomach the protein is digested by?
That is a proteolytic enzyme. Name of the enzyme is pepsin. It is secreted as inactive pepsinogen, which become active when it comes in contact with the hydrochloric acid, in the stomach.
Which enzyme breaks down protein?
Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks proteins into peptides.
What enzyme begins the breakdown of protein?
HCL (hydrochloric acid) begins digestion in stomach.
In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?
Bapna is the substrate that the enzyme, pepsin, is action on.
Why pepsin is not digested by pepsin itself?
pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach specific to proteins sucrose is a di-sacaride ie sugar not a protein common this is easy stuff think about it each substrate has a specific enzyme this is extremely basic stuff don't consider a career in biochemistry buddy
What effect does freezing have on pepsin activity?
Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.
Mode of action of Bismuth subsalicylate as medicine?
bismuth promotes ulcer healing by forming a bismuth-protein coagulant which protects the ulcer from acid and pepsin digestion it also stimulates mucos , bicarbonate and prostaglandins production it also have antimicrobial activity against H.pylori
Nicorandil mode of action throgh diagram?
nicoraindil mode of acetion
Which enzyme shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH?
The enzyme with lowest pH optimum is pepsin. Pepsin works in the stomach in an acidic environment and aids in digestion.
What is the mode of action of trichlorocarbanilide?
Trichlorocarbanilide is used in antibacterial soaps and other antibacterial agents. The mode of action for trichlorocarbanilide is unknown at this time.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
Where is story mode for Godzilla save the earth?
Action mode is the same thing.
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.
Mechanism of action calcium dobesilate monohydrate?
mode of action of calcium dobesilate
