![SOLVED: In protein digestion, I understand that pepsinogen converts to pepsin in the presence of HCl and pepsin. I don't understand how pepsin has to already be present for this conversion when SOLVED: In protein digestion, I understand that pepsinogen converts to pepsin in the presence of HCl and pepsin.
