Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteolysis is the cleavage of proteins into smaller polypeptides or individual amino acids, which can be important for the formation of functional proteins, such as enzymes or hormones. Glycation and glycosylation involve the addition of sugar molecules to proteins and phosphorylation involves the addition of phosphate groups. Exonuclease digestion is the degradation of DNA or RNA from the ends of the molecule rather than the middle.
