What else can I help you with?
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.
What breaks down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
What enzymes break down protein into amino acids?
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
What food does pepsin begin to breakdown?
Pepsin begins the digetion of Protein. Pepsin is found in the stomach.
Which enzyme works best in alkaline conditions?
Pepsin in the stomach
Is pepsin a protein?
Yes, pepsin is a protein.
What best describes the structure of pepsin?
Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that primarily consists of a single polypeptide chain folded into a specific three-dimensional structure. Its active form is a globular protein, characterized by a compact arrangement of alpha-helices and beta-sheets. The enzyme features an active site that facilitates the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins, making it essential for digestion in the acidic environment of the stomach. Pepsin is produced as an inactive precursor, pepsinogen, which undergoes activation through cleavage of specific peptide bonds.
Is pepsin a carbohydrate?
No, pepsin is a protein digestive enzyme.
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.
What enzyme contained in gastric juice?
Protease (pepsin) plus hydrochloric acid
What are the differences between pepsin and pepsinogen?
pepsinogen makes pepsin
Which is not found in the mouth pepsin or ptyalin?
Pepsin is not found in mouth!
