The 8 pages that link to Pepsin, each with the reason it gives.

• Gastric acidRelated: Acid activates its precursor and provides the low pH in which it works.

• Digestive enzymeBroader topic: Its activity illustrates how the stomach's acidity suits a particular digestive enzyme.

• Acid catalysisRelated: Its catalytic mechanism uses acidic and basic residues to transfer protons during peptide-bond cleavage.

• RennetCompared with: It can occur in animal rennet mixtures but is less specific than chymosin.

• StomachRelated: The stomach’s acidity activates pepsinogen into this protein-digesting enzyme.

• Dorothy HodgkinRelated: Her early work on crystalline pepsin helped establish X-ray methods for studying large biological molecules.

• ChymeRelated: Its protein digestion contributes to the partially digested material in chyme.

• John Howard NorthropBroader topic: Northrop crystallized pepsin, providing a purified enzyme preparation for chemical analysis.
