In addition to being produced in the pancreas, lipase is also produced in the stomach. Do you believe the structure of pancreatic lipase the same as gastric lipase? Explain your answer. 10. Antacids work by neutralizing acids, bringing the pH of the stomach to a range of pH = 6 to 7. What is the effect of taking an antacid on a person's ability to digest proteins? Explain your answer.
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
