Nucleic acids are first broken down in the duodenum of the small intestine. A hormone called cholecystokinin stimulates the release of pancreatic juice from the pancreas, and a component of this pancreatic juice is a group of enzymes called nucleases. nucleic acid is a polymer of nucleotides (1 nitrogenous base, 1 phosphate group and 1 pentose) bonded together by a phosphodiester bond. The two most famous â¦ nucleic acids are RNA and DNA An amino acid is a molecules that makes up polypeptides chains and proteins.
Page 5: Protein digestion begins in the stomach â¢ The enzyme pepsin (activated from pepsinogen by HCl) begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach â¢ Pepsin (optimal pH ~2) breaks the peptide bond between tyrosine and phenylalanine amino acids, thereby producing peptide fragments and a few individual amino acids â¢ The neutral pH of the duodenum denatures pepsin, rendering it inactive Page 6: Most digestion and absorption occur in the small intestine â¢ Most chemical digestion and nearly all the absorption occur in the small intestine â¢ Pancreatic digestive enzymes alone are sufficient to digest carbohydrates and proteins â¢ Pancreatic lipase is essential for the bulk of fat digestion
