Term Name: protein processing
Synonyms: peptidolysis during protein maturation, protein maturation by peptide bond cleavage, protein maturation by peptide bond hydrolysis, protein maturation by proteolysis
Definition: Any protein maturation process achieved by the cleavage of a peptide bond or bonds within a protein. Protein maturation is the process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein.
