What does the term proteolytic mean when describing enzymes?
Individual enzymes are very specific in their function. Proteolytic is an adverb that describes the action of the enzyme. ‘Proteo-‘ refers to protein and ‘-lytic’ refers to the breaking down into smaller components. Therefore, proteolytic enzymes are enzymes that specifically break down protein and peptides into smaller components. 3.
