Proteinase (= any enzyme that catalyses the splitting of interior peptide bonds in a protein).
An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage (breakdown) of proteins. By analogy, the enzyme breaks the link (peptide bond) holding a chain together. Proteases represent a whole class of protein-degrading enzymes.
A digestive enzyme which breaks down protein in food by splitting the peptide link.
An enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of protein.
Class of enzymes that breaks down protein.
A digestive enzyme also known as a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down protein in food as part of the digestive process. The complex protein molecules are reduced to their constituent amino acids.
