... between amino acids. However, I know that lipase is a globular protein and thus basically a chain of amino acids. Does that imply that protease breaks down lipase by breaking down the peptide bonds between its amino acids? Or do the other bonds (ionic, hydrogen, sulfur bridges, etc.) within ...
