They decompose proteins into smaller molecules, called peptides.
Explanation:
This happens in the duodenum, where the pancreatic juice reaches the gastrointestinal tube. Trypsin is a part of the pancreatic juices that help decompose food molecules into smaller pieces. More specific, trypsin is used as a catalyst for proteins hydrolisis, where they are turned into peptides. Later on, the peptides will be decomposed into aminoacids, the final product of the digestion of proteins.
