small intestine is divided into duodenum, jejunum and ileum.the food entered into

small intestine is called chyme.this is again acted upon by various enzymes.

most chemical digestion of proteins takes place; peptides (complex chains of protein molecules) are broken down into amino acids;chyme is mixed with additional digestive juice pancreatic juice.

COMPOSITION OF PANCREATIC JUICE; contains mainly bicarbonate,trypsinogen.,chymotrypsinogen, Proelastase, Procarboxypeptidase A, and Procarboxypeptidase B. All of these pro-enzymes (except Bicarbonate, which isn't a pro enzyme) are inactive in the pancreas. They must travel to the lumen of the Small Intestine before they are activated by enteropeptidase.

converts Trypsinogen to Trypsin, cascading to convert the other pro enzymes to their active forms and working to break peptide bonds to that enterocytes can absorb the broken down peptides.

WHAT IS PROTEIN DIGESTING ENZYME?

Protein digesting enzymes, also known as proteases, are enzymes that break down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. Some examples include pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, which are produced in the stomach and pancreas to aid in protein digestion. These enzymes play an important role in the breakdown and absorption of dietary protein in the digestive system.

What is the formula for protease?

Protease is an enzyme. It is essentially a protein. Protease is not a compound and therefore its formula cannot be given out. Protease are a class of enzymes involved in digesting proteins. The basic mode of action can be described as: Protein + Protease -----> Digested protein + protease Since enzymes do not react in a biochemical reaction (they are merely catalysis), protease appears on both sides of the reaction shown above
