Digestive Enzymes                       Enzymes are biological catalyst which is responsible for degradation of complex                       molecule(food) into simple(food) & absorbable form.                        Enzyme enhance the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy of substrate.                         Few important digestive enzyme are- Trypsin - trypsin is secreted from pancreas (mix gland) as a trypsinogen.                 It cleaves the peptides at carboxyl side (c-side) of lysine (k) & arginine(R),which is basic amino acids .Exception,if lysine or arginine is followed by proline trypsin does not act on that peptide because 3D cleft or active site of trypsin ...
