Proteins can be hydrolyzed by various means, primarily through the action of enzymes known as proteases. These enzymes break the peptide bonds between amino acids, leading to the decomposition of proteins into smaller peptides or free amino acids. Additionally, acids (like hydrochloric acid) and bases can also hydrolyze proteins through chemical reactions, often used in laboratory settings. Heat and certain conditions (like prolonged cooking) can also contribute to protein hydrolysis.

What are the product of lipase reaction?

Pancreatic lipase may: hydrolyze triacylglycerols to yield 1,2-diacylglycerol and a fatty acid. It may also hydrolyze 1,2-diacylglycerol to yield 2-monoacylglycerol and a fatty acid. Pancreatic lipase may not hydrolyze 2-monoacylglycerol, because the enzyme is spesific for the primary ester links--> position 1 and 3 in triacylglycerols. But, intestinal isomerase may convert 2-monoacylglycerol to 1-monoacylglycerol. Then, pancreatic lipase can hydrolyze 1-monoacylglycerol to yield a fatty acid and glycerol. :)


Which enzyme finally reduces protein to amino acids?

The enzyme that ultimately reduces proteins to amino acids is called peptidase, specifically dipeptidases and aminopeptidases. These enzymes hydrolyze peptide bonds between amino acids, breaking down peptides into individual amino acids. Peptidases are found in the digestive system, particularly in the small intestine, where they play a crucial role in protein digestion.


Does B subtilis hydrolyze starch?

Yes, Bacillus subtilis has the capability to hydrolyze starch due to the production of amylase enzymes. Amylases secreted by B. subtilis break down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and glucose that can be utilized by the bacterium for growth and metabolism.

What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?

Lipases are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules in the small intestine. They help break down dietary fats for absorption and utilization in the body.

Why doesn't saliva digest protein?

Carbohydrates are digested (hydrolyzed) by the enzyme amylase, found in saliva. However, saliva does not contain any protein-hydrolyzing enzymes. Enzymes are specific, meaning they will only hydrolyze the substrates (reactants) they were made to hydrolyze, so amylase will not hydrolyze proteins.

What is procedure for formol titration of determining protein in ice cream?

To determine protein content in ice cream using formol titration, first, mix ice cream sample with formol reagent and heat to hydrolyze proteins into amino acids. Then, titrate the liberated amino acids with a standard acid solution. The amount of acid solution used in the titration is correlated to the protein content in the ice cream sample.
