Question

Why were the breakdown of proteins into peptides and peptones ?

Answer 1

Some examples are trypsin, papain and pepsin. Proteases either activate water to attack the peptide bond or form an intermediate with the cleaved peptide following which hydrolysis happens. Any proteolytic enzyme capable of breaking the peptide bonds between the two amino acid in a protein can form peptides.

Answer 2

s. The number of available peptones and extract is enormous (see list), and can promote and sustain the growth of most organisms. However, because the resulting microbial culture takes up components from the growth media, we sought to develop peptones and extracts that were assured to be BSE- and GMO-free,
