Digestion Of Proteins Flashcards
1
Q
What is the model answer for digestion of proteins?
A
-Endopeptidase hydrolyses peptide bonds in the stomach from the middle of a chain which produces shorter polypeptide chains.
-Endopeptidase hydrolyses peptide bonds at the end of a chain in the stomach to produce dipeptides.
-Dipeptidase are membrane bound enzymes in the ileum which act on the dipeptides to produce single ammino acids.
