Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

The protein digesting enzyme pepsin is activated by exposure to hydrochloric acid inside the stomach . Pepsin breaks down the protein in the food into smaller particles, such as peptide fragments and amino . enzyme that bulid protein in blood is ATPases, anion transport protein, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate however both work in different places and the enzyme's shape enables it to receive only one type of molecule that molecule that will fit into it's shape, it is also a reason that they don't work in other places .
