Antibodies can be digested by using which of the following types of enzymes?
Correct answer: B. Protease
- A. Lipase
- B. Protease
- C. Amylase
- D. Polymerase
Explanation
Antibodies, being proteins, can be digested or broken down by proteolytic enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes, also known as proteases or peptidases, specifically cleave peptide bonds in proteins, leading to their degradation.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
