Exopeptidases Bonds Suggest Explain Combined Actions Endopeptidases Efficient

The combined action of endopeptidases and exopeptidases is more efficient because endopeptidases hydrolyze internal peptide bonds, creating more ends for exopeptidases to act upon, thereby increasing the surface area for hydrolysis.

A ação combinada de endopeptidases e exopeptidases é mais eficiente porque as endopeptidases hidrolisam ligações peptídicas internas, criando mais extremidades para as exopeptidases atuarem, aumentando assim a área de superfície para a hidrólise.
