Pepsin-protein digesting enzyme in the stomach    â¢ pancreatin-an animal-derived enzyme, breaks down protein and fats   â¢ pancrelipase-an animal-derived e â¦ nzyme, breaks down protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Answered. In Carbohydrates and Low-Carb Diets.
Although the amino acid sequence (also known as the protein's primary structure) does not change, the protein's shape may change so much that it becomes dysfunctional, in which case the protein is considered denatured. Pepsin, the enzyme that breaks down protein in the stomach, only operates at a very low pH. At higher pHs pepsin's conformation, the way its polypeptide chain is folded up in three dimensions, begins to change. The stomach maintains a very low pH to ensure that pepsin continues to digest protein and does not denature.
