I have 100 ml of HCl with pH 2.0 and am trying to find out how much pepsin 
I should add to the solution if I want to break down proteins in it. I read 
somewhere that I need a .5% solution, by it did not indicate by mass of 
volume of whatever. So, how much pepsin should I add to make a solution 
that can break down proteins.
