Examples of hydrolysis in the following topics:
-
- Chemical digestion is the process of breakdown of large macronutrients into smaller molecules by enzyme-mediated hydrolysis.
- Proteins and polypeptides are digested by hydrolysis of the C-N bond .
- Proteins and polypeptides are digested by hydrolysis of the C-N bond.
-
- This main product of fat digestion is first broken down to fatty acids and glycerol through hydrolysis using lipoprotein lipase.
-
- Enzymatic hydrolysis is initiated by intraluminal processes requiring gastric, pancreatic, and biliary secretions.
- Intestinal malabsorption may be due to mucosal damage (enteropathy); congenital or acquired reduction in absorptive surface; defects of specific hydrolysis; defects of ion transport; pancreatic insufficiency; or impaired enterohepatic circulation.
-
- Ingested proteins are then broken down into amino acids through digestion, which typically involves denaturation of the protein through exposure to acid and hydrolysis by enzymes called proteases.
-
- Water itself is also a key component of biochemical reactions involved in physiology, such as hydrolysis.
-
- Dental caries, also known as tooth decay or a cavity, is an infection, usually bacterial in origin, that causes demineralization of the hard tissues (enamel, dentin, and cementum) and destruction of the organic matter of the tooth, usually by production of acid by hydrolysis of the food debris accumulated on the tooth surface.
-
- The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases constitutes a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the cyclic nucleotides cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP.
-
- Example of primary active transport, where energy from hydrolysis of ATP is directly coupled to the movement of a specific substance across a membrane independent of any other species.
-
- The fluid of saliva also contains several enzymes, notably lysozyme—an antibacterial agent—and amylase, which catalyzes large starch molecules into simpler sugars via hydrolysis.
