1. What are the function roles and biological significance of the enzyme?
Trypsin is part of the digestive system and degrades proteins, making it an enzyme known as protease. [1] It is one of the three principal digestive proteinases, the other two being pepsin and chymotrypsin. [9] Trypsin primarily hydrolyses peptides into smaller building-blocks, mainly amino acids (these peptides are the result of the enzyme pepsin 's breaking down the proteins in the stomach). This enables the uptake of protein in the food because peptides (though smaller than proteins) are too big to be absorbed through the lining of the ileum. This …show more content…
