Protein digestion begins in the stomach with the action of an enzyme that we previously learned about called pepsin. Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach. When pepsin acts on the protein molecule, it breaks the bonds that hold the protein molecule together, called peptide bonds. So, you can think of pepsin as the enzyme that breaks peptide bonds. When these bonds are broken, you get chains of amino acids linked together called polypeptides. Since we know that the prefix 'poly' means 'many,' we can easily recall that a polypeptide is many amino acid units joined together. These polypeptides then move into your small intestine, where digestion will be completed by additional enzymes.

Hiiiiiiiiiii

your answer is here

  • Mouth: Degrading Protein

  • Stomach: Protein Denaturation

  • Small Intestine: Further Breakdown and Absorption

  • Large Intestine: Clearing Waste

  • Your Response Remains the Same

Scientists have speculated that the food processing and portion size may affect your body's response to protein, and they have discovered two protein types — fast and slow. Meat has many fast proteins that play an important role in muscle synthesis. Yet it remains unknown how cooking affects these proteins and their digestion
