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.

Enzyme that digest proteins?

Proteases are enzyme that digest proteins. In stomach we have proteases such as trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin that digest proteins. In addition there are peptidases that digest the peptides to simple amino acids.


Is protease an enzyme?

Yes, protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. It is involved in various cellular processes, including digestion, protein signaling, and recycling of damaged proteins.


Which nutrient do protease enzymes act on?

it acts on protein and make a product amino acid and peptides......


Which substrate is digested by the enzyme protease?

Proteases break down proteins by hydrolysis (addition of a water molecule to break a bond) into amino acids. The substrate the protease enzyme works on is protein. Enzymes are often named for the substrates they catalyse (or break down).

What do protease break down into?

Protease is an enzyme so it would break down into amino acids. (If you meant protein then the same is true)


What products are formed in protease?

Proteases catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins, resulting in the formation of smaller peptides and amino acids.
