Digestion in the Duodenum • The partially digested proteins coming from the stomach will have their fragments further digested by: • Trypsin which cleaves peptides on the carboxyl side of the basic amino acids Lys and Arg. • Chymotrypsin which cleaves on the carboxyl side of the aromatic amino acids Phe, Tyr and Trp. • A zinc requiring enzyme. • Carboxypeptidase which cleaves all amino acids on the remaining fragments one amino acid at a time from the carboxyl side. (This would be cutting the N-side of the C-terminal amino acid.)
