Well protein are broken into small fragment like proteoses, peptones and polypeptides. by the enzyme PEPSIN.

These proteoses , peptones and polypeptide are further broken down by TRYPSIN, CHYMOTRYPSIN< CARBOXYPOLYPEPTIDASE AND PROELASTASE into Polypeptides and Amino acids.

Now the Polypeptides are broken down into amino acid by PEPTIDASES
