An enzyme which converts a dipeptide into separate amino acids is an example of__________?
Correct answer: B. Hydrolase
- A. Decarboxylase
- B. Hydrolase
- C. Oxidoreductase
- D. Transferase
Explanation
Hydrolases break chemical bonds by adding water, so a dipeptidase hydrolyses the peptide bond and releases two amino acids. The likely alternative is decarboxylase, but decarboxylases remove carboxyl groups and do not split peptide bonds.
