Definitions

  1. 1

    Biochemistry.

    • : the breaking down of proteins into simpler compounds, as in digestion.

Examples

  • “Flavor,” Cocalis notes, “is much more dependent on proteolysis, or the breakdown of proteins,” than mere appearance.

  • Pepsin-proteolysis, therefore, is strictly the proteolysis produced by pepsin-acid.

  • In digestive proteolysis we have a branch of physiological study which of late years has made much progress.

  • These two experiments thus give striking proof that free acid is not absolutely essential for pepsin-proteolysis.

  • Hence, it might be assumed that these two bases would likewise be formed in trypsin-proteolysis.

  • One of our conceptions regarding pepsin-proteolysis is that acid is necessary for every step in the proteolytic process.
