Digestion Flashcards
1
Q
Proteases
A
- Endopepidases break pepide bons withihn protein into smaller peptides
- Exopeptidases break peptide bonds at end of protien molecule
Dipeptidase= braaks two amino acids
2
Q
Why combined actions of endopeptidases and expopeptidaes are more effircent
A
Exo hydrolyses internal bonds or endo removes bonds at ends
Increases in surgace area for expopepidases
