Hydrolysis of a protein.

1
Hydrolysis of a protein.
During digestion, enzymes such as pepsin and
trypsin, hydrolyse proteins. When proteins are
hydrolysed they are broken down into ..
. molecules.
amino acids
The peptide links are circled.
During hydrolysis the peptide links are broken as
shown by the dotted line
Hydrolysis of this part of the protein molecule
produces 2 different amino acids.
