Pepsin is an enzyme that functions optimally at a specific acidic pH and temperature range, typically around 37 degrees Celsius. At temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius, the enzyme's structure begins to denature, meaning its three-dimensional shape is altered. This denaturation reduces its ability to bind to and cleave protein substrates effectively, significantly impairing its digestive function. As a result, pepsin loses its activity at elevated temperatures.
Pepsin is an enzyme that works optimally at a specific temperature range, around 37 degrees Celsius. At temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius, the high heat denatures the pepsin enzyme, causing it to lose its structure and thus its ability to digest proteins effectively.
The main reason a snake doesn't digest it's food properly (and re-gurgitates it) is temperature. Snakes need a narrow band of high temperatures in order to digest their food - typically 22-28 degrees Celsius.
Pepsin
So you have to digest so you can absorb nutrients and protein
Pepsin is the enzyme that will digest protein at pH 1.6. It is the primary enzyme in the stomach responsible for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. Pepsin functions optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach.
Cooking affects protein by converting the amino acids into it. The result is a harder to digest protein.

No, proteases digest proteins, producing protein fragments. The smallest fragment of a protein is an amino acid, the monomers from which the polymers we call proteins are built.
It's not rennin... christ. Lactase is needed to digest the Lactose, Protease is needed to digest the casein and whey protein and Lipase is needed to digest the fats (lipids) in the milk.
With the aid of digestive enzymes from the lysosomes.
No! It is only protein which is VERY good for you.
Protein wouldn't digest.
