endopeptidázok
Endopeptidases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds within a protein molecule. Unlike exopeptidases, which cleave amino acids from the ends of a polypeptide chain, endopeptidases act on internal peptide bonds. This action can lead to the fragmentation of larger proteins into smaller peptides or individual amino acids.
These enzymes are crucial for a wide variety of biological processes. In digestion, for example, endopeptidases
The specificity of endopeptidases varies, with some cleaving at particular amino acid sequences, while others are
Endopeptidases are classified based on their catalytic mechanism. Major classes include serine proteases, cysteine proteases, aspartic
