What else can I help you with?
How are peptides transported in the blood?
Peptides are transported in the blood mainly by binding to carrier proteins or circulating freely. Carrier proteins can protect peptides from being broken down and can help regulate their distribution and delivery to specific target tissues. Peptides can also be taken up by cells for further processing and utilization.
What kinds of macromolecules does pepsin help break down?
Pepsin helps break down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
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.
What is the end product of pepsin?
The end product of pepsin digestion is peptides, which are smaller fragments of proteins. Pepsin breaks down proteins into peptides by hydrolyzing peptide bonds between amino acids. These peptides can be further broken down into individual amino acids by other digestive enzymes for absorption in the small intestine.
How are amino acids polypeptides and proteins related?
In Biology it bis tested that when proteins are broken down amino acids are formed this explains the relationship of proteins and amino acids and for polypeptides there is the theory that all peptides and poly peptides are polymers of amino acids.
What is the name of the enzyme that will digest proteins into peptides?
The enzyme that digests proteins into peptides is called protease.
Do proteins have a lot of peptides?
Yes.
Where are proteins broken down?
Protein broken down to peptides in stomach. Proteases such as pepsin, trypsin catalyze the breaking down of proteins to peptides. enteropeptidases cut down these peptides to amino acids. All the proteins and enzymes are coded in Genomic DNA.
What has the author R T Coutts written?
R. T. Coutts has written: 'Polysaccharides, peptides and proteins' -- subject(s): Peptides, Proteins, Polysaccharides
Are polypeptides a carbohydrate?
No. Peptides are strings of amino acids. These proteins (peptides) are folded and coiled into polypeptides.
What are proteases?
Enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides
How are peptides transported in the blood?

Carrier proteins can protect peptides from being broken down and can help regulate their distribution and delivery to specific target tissues. Peptides can also be taken up by cells for further processing and utilization.
Were in the cell is proteins made?
They are made as peptides on ribosomes. Later they become other proteins incytoplasm
What is the complex molecule made up of aminoacids?
Proteins and peptides
Does pepsin, an enzyme found in the stomach, break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids?
Yes, pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
What kinds of macromolecules does pepsin help break down?
Pepsin helps break down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
What substrate is for peptidase?
The substrate for peptidase are peptides, which are basically small proteins.
