Temperature - too cold the enzyme will still work but slowly, too hot and the enzyme will become denatured

pH - different types of enzymes work best in different pH environments

enzyme and substrate concentration - how many there is of each. eg. too many enzymes etcetera.

enzyme inhibitors

What activates trypsinogen?

Trypsinogen is activated by enteropeptidase, also known as enterokinase. Enteropeptidase is an enzyme found in the brush border of the small intestine that cleaves and activates trypsinogen into its active form, trypsin.


What is in the FBS that inhibits the trypsin?

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) contains trypsin inhibitors that can interfere with trypsin activity. These inhibitors can bind to and inhibit trypsin, reducing its ability to cleave proteins effectively. It is important to remove or inactivate these inhibitors when using trypsin for cell culture experiments.


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.


What is the optimum temperature for trypsin?

The optimum temperature for trypsin is typically around 37 degrees Celsius, which is body temperature for mammals. At this temperature, trypsin is most active and efficient in breaking down proteins into smaller peptides.


Trypsin is secreted from?

Trypsin is secreted from the pancreas as an inactive zymogen called trypsinogen. It is activated in the small intestine by enteropeptidase enzyme into its active form, trypsin. Trypsin plays a crucial role in the digestion of proteins by breaking down peptides into smaller amino acids.

What is the pancreatic enzyme that activates the zymogens?

What is the subtrate for enterokinase?

The substrate for enterokinase is trypsinogen, an inactive precursor of the digestive enzyme trypsin. Enterokinase, produced in the intestine, activates trypsinogen by cleaving it to form active trypsin. This activation is crucial for the digestive process, as trypsin further activates other proteolytic enzymes.

What stimulates release of enterokinase?

The release of enterokinase is stimulated by the presence of acidic chyme in the small intestine. This triggers the release of enterokinase from the duodenal mucosal cells, which then activates trypsinogen to trypsin in the small intestine.


What are the protein hydrolyzing enzymes in the digestive tract?

pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase


Are pepsin and trypsin classified as sugars?

pepsin and trypsin are classified as proteins


What are the similarities of pepsin and trypsin?

Pepsin and trypsin both are protein digesting enzymes.


What happens when intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice?

Intestinal glands are located in the epithelial lining of the small intestine and colon. What happens when the intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice is that trypsin activates other enzymes to aid in protein digestion.


What pH does trypsin work at the best?

The optimal pH for trypsin is 8. It is found in the small intestine and digests proteins and polypeptides there.

How serum use to stop the trypsin action?

serum is going to stop the action of trypsin, because it contain the inhibitors of trypisn. Once you will inhit you can see the function of trypsin. SK


What occurs to a molecule of the enzyme trypsin AFTER human pancreas binds to a molecule of protein?

Trypsin is an enzyme that is produced in the pancreas. After the human pancreas binds to a molecule of protein, auto catalysis occurs to a molecule of trypsin.
