Question
Chapter 26, Problem 16DYKB
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that why it is important for protein-digesting enzymes to be released in an inactive form.
Concept introduction:
The complex proteins present in the diet are broken down into simpler molecules by the action of enzymes called proteases. Pepsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, trypsinogen, and procarboxypeptidase are some of the inactive proteases released in the body.
