Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases. From your stomach, these smaller chains of amino acids move into your small intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two major pancreatic enzymes that digest proteins in the small intestine are chymotrypsin and trypsin . Trypsin activates other protein-digesting enzymes called proteases, and together, these enzymes break proteins down to tripeptides, dipeptides, and individual amino acids.
