Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.
ase.Synthase, as exampleStill, not all enzymes have this ending. In the old days there were no naming rules. Pepsin, a digestive enzyme, is an example of non-naming by the modern rules.
Pepsin is a digestive protease enzyme that acts on protein nutrients.Pepsin can be irreversibly denatured at pH 8.5 - 11 at room temperature. It is also denatured by heating them for 5 minute above 80 degree Celsius. When the structure of pepsin is abolished it can not carry out its enzymatic function.
The term used for all the molecules on which an enzyme acts is "substrates." Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by binding to these substrates, facilitating their conversion into products. Each enzyme typically has a specific substrate or a group of related substrates that it acts upon.
Chemical digestion in the mouth primarily involves the breakdown of carbohydrates by the enzyme amylase in saliva. Not all foods require significant carbohydrate digestion, such as proteins and fats. Therefore, chemical digestion for these macronutrients begins further down the digestive tract, where specific enzymes like pepsin and lipase are present.
Pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach that is destroyed by strong acids. Pepsin works best at an acidic pH, but too strong of an acid can denature and deactivate the enzyme.
Pepsin is an enzyme in the stomach that begins the digestion of proteins by splitting them into smaller pieces. It is a gastric protease; pepsin is secreted in an inactive form, pepsinogen, which is activated by stomach acid. enzyme produced in the mucosal lining of the stomach that acts to degrade protein.
Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.
Pepsin is the most important enzyme in gastric juice. It begins the digestion of nearly all types of dietary protein into polypeptides. (Originates from the inactive form pepsinogen)

Pepsinogen is an inactive form of the digestive enzyme pepsin. Almost all enzymes are proteins, and proteins are organic macromolecules.
we are all scientists. we all use experiments
It varies for all the food groups. For fat/lipid lipase breaks down,for proteins pepsin breaks down and for carbohydrates amylase.
Pepsin, Hydrochloric acid. First one is enzyme deals with proteins (meat for example). All in the stomach.They all in one is called gastric juice. Gastric juice is responsible for breaking down foods you eat so digestion can continue in the small intestine.
the pepsin help the protein to digest and breaks into polypeptides
Zymogens are stored in their inactive form and need the Hydrochloric acid (or HCl) to be activated. Specifically, HCl converts pepsinogen into pepsin which can then be used to convert more pepsinogen into pepsin.
first salivary glands in the mouth which produce an enzyme which help in digesting carbohydrates. second gastric gland in stomach produce an enzyme called pepsin which help in digesting protein third in the pancreas which produce the three types of enzymes that digest all types of food .
