Concept
Proteolysis is the biochemical process of breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids, which is crucial for various physiological functions such as digestion, cell regulation, and apoptosis. This process is catalyzed by enzymes known as proteases, and is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and the regulation of biological pathways.
Concept
Cyclins and CDKs are like the traffic lights and police officers of the cell cycle, helping cells know when to grow and divide. They work together to make sure everything happens at the right time, so the cell doesn't get confused or make mistakes.
