Pespin is a type of synthetic fiber made from polyethylene, often used in various applications including textiles and packaging. Known for its durability and resistance to moisture, it is commonly found in outdoor gear and heavy-duty products. Pespin fibers are lightweight yet strong, making them suitable for both industrial and consumer uses.

Why are protein digestive enzymes produced and released in an inactive form?
In the case of protein digesting enzymes, known as endopeptidases, such as those secreted in the stomach (pespin), it is obvious. If they were secreted active they would digest the glands which secrete the enzymes themselves (gastric glands). Instead they must be secreted in an inactive form, which once in the stomach and exposed to HCl acid and other pepsin enzymes the pepsinogen activates and begins digesting protein.
Which enzymes denature proteins?
Protease enzyme is the general name given to enzymes that break proteins into amino acids. However, within that group, there are specific enzymes for specific proteins. An enzyme is considered a catalyst, a specific type of protein that speeds up reactions without being used up in the reaction itself.
