EC 3.4 Peptidases - hydrolases that hydrolyse peptide bonds



EC 3.4 subclass definition

The EC 3.4 subclass contains peptidases - hydrolases that hydrolyse peptide bonds. Further classification is based on the type of peptide bond and polypeptide sequence around peptide bond.

Further classification of EC 3.4 subclass

This classification is based on type of ether bond.
