proteolysis
Enzyme cleaves proteins
Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids, typically through enzymatic action.
The process is essential to digestion, cellular recycling, and countless biological functions.
Proteolysis of the blood clot began within hours of treatment.
