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.

In an experiment of Pepsin and BAPNA is pepsin the substrate?

No, pepsin is not the substrate in the experiment with BAPNA. BAPNA is the synthetic substrate used in this experiment to test the activity of the enzyme pepsin by measuring the rate of substrate cleavage. Pepsin acts on BAPNA as the enzyme, not the substrate.


Which enzyme shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH?

The enzyme pepsin shows the greatest change in its rate of action with the least change in pH. Pepsin works optimally at a highly acidic pH of around 2, and even small changes in pH can significantly impact its activity.

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.


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.
