Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exopeptidases are enzymes that cleave amino acids from the ends of peptide chains, digesting terminal peptide bonds to release amino acids, whereas endopeptidases cut peptide bonds within the chain, and lipases break down fats. Protease is a general term for enzymes that break down proteins, including both exo- and endopeptidases.
