Title: PhysioEx 9.0 Exercise 8 Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion
Post by: vkdyal on Oct 27, 2012
I have just a couple of questions left to answer for this exercise.

In Activity 2:
Describe the result in tube 3.

In Activity 3:
Describe the effect that boiling had on pepsin and how you could tell that it had that effect.

In Activity 2: Tube 3 showed positive tests for the Benedict’s reagent, indicating the presence of reducing
sugar.
In Activity 3: Pepsin did not digest BAPNA in tube 1 so it can be concluded that boiling denatures pepsin.
Hope this helps
