Proteases

This WisdomCard managed by: Nicole Kinsey


Proteases (pronounced pro-tea-aces, more formally endopeptidases) or peptidases are enzymes, which break peptide bonds of proteins. They use a molecule of water to achieve this, thus they are classified as hydrolases. It occurs naturally in living organisms, where they are used for molecular digestion and the breakdown of unwanted proteins.
