Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteolysis is the process of cleaving a protein into smaller peptides or amino acids. This often results in the activation of the protein or the removal of unwanted portions of the protein, leading to a functional protein product. Hydrolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and exonuclease digestion are not processes involved in protein cleavage.
