👉 Proteolysis is a process in which proteins are broken down into smaller subunits or fragments, often leading to the formation of new, more stable structures. This process can occur in different cell types and tissues within an organism, including cells, tissues, organs, and even entire organisms themselves. Proteolysis can be catalyzed by enzymes that specifically recognize specific amino acids, which are typically part of a protein's sequence or domain. The main steps in proteolysis include the cleavage
