    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    I will then unanimously go for pepsin then(Mind note for myself: the textbooks are not always correct.may be they are outdated) :) Thanks I learned a lot about chymosin which I couldn't have been from my textbook and your help was beyond measure :') there is no rennin in humans, Harini! I will...

    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    Also my text material saying 'chymosin is present in infants '- is right? Because in the wiki link that you shared quotes 'chymosin pseudogene is present in humans not the real chymosin itself'. Which is right? My text material or the wiki?

    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    The key has pepsin as answer. But casein is not the only milk protein right? And there are alpha lactalbumin, immunoglobulin to name a few and these milk proteins don't need rennin(do they?). So by that fact, can pepsin be the answer as milk protein digestion is not just of casein but all those...

    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    This is from my reference book and those 2 pics from my textbook.

    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    Um...So it is chymosin pseudogene and not the real chymosin?! This seems to nullify whatever I had read for the past 2 days about milk protein digestion. So pepsin should be the answer? As rennin doesn't exist or pseudo exist in humans. PS: I have read from my textbook that rennin coagulates...

    General organic chemistry -- finding maximum electron density

    May be I should settle with the distal carbons as more electron densed then. :)

    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    *Adult humans don't. As I had already stated humans do secrete rennin but in infancy and rennin is the most important enzyme especially during the intial few steps as it coagulates milk protein into paracaseinate. Pepsin (the other dude who helps in milk protein digestion) comes to play (and...

    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    How do you say that i didn't look up wikipedia? I have been pondering over dozen of web links on digestion of milk which is getting me confused a lot more.No, i didn't asked this question in this forum to get a quick answer but the most accurate or appropriate answer from the experts here. and...

    What enzyme is responsible for the initial step in milk digestion in humans?

    Homework Statement The intial step in the digestion of milk in Humans is carried out by which of the following enzymes? A) lipase B) trypsin C) rennin (No, not renin) D) pepsin Homework Equations Casein is converted to Paracasein by rennin and then paracasein along with calcium is acted upon...

    General organic chemistry -- finding maximum electron density

    The following structures are considered relatively stable: Structures having filled octet a for second row elements (C, N, O, F) are stable. Structures having minimum number of formal charges and maximum number of bonds. Structure in which negative charge appears on the most electronegative...

    General organic chemistry -- finding maximum electron density

    They are saying that the resonating structures are stable when pyrrole has -ve charge on C2 and C5 and the electrophilic substitution site is also the proximal carbons, thus 'they should be electron rich' is what they are saying.though I M highly confused by this explanation :/ can it be? Which...

    General organic chemistry -- finding maximum electron density

    Here the answer is given as 2 and 5 contrary to what we have discussed.could this(2 and 5) be correct?
