Question

A scientist needs to cleave a protein at specific sites. Which method should they choose and why?

Accepted Answer

Chemical cleavage, because it uses specific chemicals to target specific peptide bonds.

Amino acid hydrolysis, because it targets specific peptide bonds.

Answer

Peptidase cleavage, because it cleaves all peptide bonds non-specifically.

Answer

Use both methods simultaneously for increased efficiency.
