What else can I help you with?
In the stomach the protein is digested by?
Protein digestion in the stomach is initiated by the enzyme pepsin, which breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. Pepsin is activated by the acidic environment of the stomach, specifically hydrochloric acid. The breakdown of proteins into peptides is essential for their absorption and utilization by the body.
Enzyme that breaks down Protein?
The general name for these enzymes is proteases
Is platinum an enzyme?
Nope, it's an element. It's also a co-factor in something I can't remember the name of... However, definitely NOT an enzyme. Enzymes have to be proteins.
What 3 letters in the enzyme's name tells that it is an enzyme?
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
What part of an enzymes name usually derived?
Part of an enzyme's name is usually derived from the reaction it catalyzes.
Name of the protein that can destroy protein?
An enzyme called a protease would digest proteins. Examples would be pepsin and trypsin.

Name the structures that produces the enzyme to digest bread?
amylace (ptyalin)
What is the name of the enzyme that digests protein?
The enzyme that digests protein is called pepsin, which is primarily active in the stomach and helps break down protein into smaller peptides.
Which type of enzyme digests fat and what does it digest fat into?
Proteases are enzymes that digest proteins. Examples of proteases that are used in the human body include Pepsin (an enzyme in the stomach), and Trypsin (an enzyme in the small intestine) which digest proteins into amino acids, or polypeptide chains composed of amino acids.
Write the name of an enzyme and define its clinical importance?
"protease"; an enzyme that breaks down proteins
What is the name of enzyme obtained fropm papaya?
The enzyme obtained from papaya which hydrolyzes the proteins is called Papain
Does chymotrypsin digest proteins?
Yes, chymotrypsin digests proteins. Chymotrypsin is included in the group of proteolytic enzymes called "serine proteases". This name is referred to their common catalytic mechanism characterized by a particular reactive Serine residue that is essential for their enzymatic activity. Chymotrypsin is secreted from the pancreas and has a particular breakage activity of peptide bond from proteins. To do this, the protein to be digested has to have a Phenylalanine (Phe), Tryptophan (Trp), or a Tyrosine (Tyr) as bulky amino acid residues before the peptide bond to be cleaved. Moreover, when that particular amino acid residue, just before the peptide bond, is an Asparagine (Asn), Histidine (His), Methionine (Met) or Leucine (Leu), the breakage process is slower. Finally, when the amino acid residue previous to the peptide bond is a Proline (Pro), the cleavage doesn't take place.
What is the name of the enzyme that activates another enzyme?
The enzyme that activates another enzyme is called a kinase. Kinases add phosphate groups to proteins, a process known as phosphorylation, which can activate or deactivate the target enzyme.
Name all proteins?
There are many proteins available for our bodies, and are even divided up in categories. Despite the categories, some proteins are tubulin, collagen, and myosin. For a full list of proteins, try this list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proteins
What chemical reactions within the body sometimes require special proteins called to catalyze the reaction?
The (general) name of proteins that makes chemical reactions inside the body work is 'enzyme'. Enzymes have a 'catalyst' function. There is one for each specific biological reaction.
Name digestive enzymes in mouth and stomach?
the enzyme produced in the stomach wall is mainly protease, this breaksdown the proteins in the food you have eaten
