What enzymes perform major proteolytic activities in the digestive tract?
pepsin/pepsinogen in the stomach chymotrypsin/trypsin in the small intestine
What does trypsin do in chemical digestion?
It neutralizes the hydrochloric acid from the stomach. When the digestion of the protein is finished in the stomach, the HCl is not removed from the stomach and is passed down to the duodenum. Since the small intestine cannot handle such low pH, it releases trypsin which neutralizes the HCl so that the optimal level of pH can be reached (around 7). Without trypsin, all the digestive enzymes releases in the small intestine, along with the wall of the intestine itself would be broken down and eaten away by the strong acid.
Which digestive enzymes are active at a site different from the site where they are produced?
Trypsin, lipase, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, steapsin, elastases, carboxypeptidase, and nucleases. ~answered by FightingLucario
What breaks complex sugars into simple sugars and proteins down to amino acids?
The enzyme amylase breaks the complex sugars into simple sugars. The enzyme pepsin in the stomach breake the peptide bond to get peptides. The enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin from pancreas break the peptides to amino acids, in the small intestine.
What is the action of pancreatic trypsin on protein?
The digestive enzyme trypsin breaks down proteins found in the stomach.
Enzyme that digest proteins?
Proteases are enzyme that digest proteins. In stomach we have proteases such as trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin that digest proteins. In addition there are peptidases that digest the peptides to simple amino acids.
What chemical (s) can be found in your stomach to digest proteins?
Three enzymes are important: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin.
Trypsin chymotrypsin aminopeptidase and dipeptidase are all?
Proteinases
Why trypsin is valuable?
Trypsin is a key digestive enzyme that assists with breaking down proteins and polypeptides. Trypsin also helps activate other enzymes like chymotrypsin.
What are the side effects of trypsin-chymotrypsin tablets?
what is the site effect of linzolid tablets
Source of trypsin?
It is a digestive enzyme that your pancreas produces, enables you to digest the protein you eat. If your pancreas is not producing enough trypsin, you may experience malabsorption, a digestive problem.Read more [related links]

What does the enzyme protein digest?
The general term is "proteases" Pepsin cleaves at the "n" terminus produced by the stomach and works in an acidic pH environment. Chymotrypsin and Trypsin are produced by the pancreas which is below the stomach and work in a more basic pH environment.
What are the names of three enzymys found in pancreatic juices?
There are 5. Amylase, Trypsin and Chymotrypsin, Nucleases, Lipases, Maltase/Sucrase/Lactase, Aminopeptidase and Carboxypeptiases
