Example types with proteolysis
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Low pH or high temperatures can also cause proteolysis non-enzymatically. (11 words)
They are often subjected to proteolysis to generate the mature form. (11 words)

Proteases can either break specific peptide bonds (limited proteolysis), depending on the amino acid sequence of a protein, or break down a complete peptide to amino acids (unlimited proteolysis). (29 words)
Non-enzymatic proteolysis Protein backbones are very stable in water at neutral pH and room temperature, although the rate of hydrolysis of different peptide bonds can vary. (27 words)
