Q21 - Digestion and digestive enzymes

Which of the following classes of digestive enzymes is involved in the digestion of proteins? A) Amylase B) Peptidase C) Isomerase D) Transaminase E) Lipase
Pinned

The correct answer is B) Peptidase.

Proteins are broken down by peptidases (proteases) such as pepsin and trypsin, which cut peptide bonds.

Amylase is for starch and lipase for fat. Transaminases move amino groups around in metabolism, they don't digest anything.
