Proteins are one of the four major biomolecules in nature. Proteins are polymers of monomeric units called AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are joined together by a type of covalent bond called PEPTIDE BOND to form proteins. Hence, since proteins are made up of amino acids, the hydrolysis of proteins will result in amino acids.
Hydrolysis is the breaking down of a large polymer into its monomeric unit with the release of water (H2O) molecule as a product. The bonds that forms between the respective amino acids are broken, hence, releasing the amino acids.
