Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Proteases are the efficient executioners of a common chemical reaction: the hydrolysis of peptide bonds (16). Most proteolytic enzymes cleave -peptide bonds between naturally occurring amino acids, but there are some proteases that perform slightly different reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -A protease (also called a peptidase, proteinase, or proteolytic enzyme) is an enzyme that catalyzes (increases reaction rate or “speeds up") proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products.
