Hydrolysis of metal salts
Many metal ions are strong Lewis acids, and in water they may undergo hydrolysis to form basic salts. Such salts contain a hydroxyl group that is directly bound to the metal ion in place of a water ligand.

Hydrolysis of an ester link
In a hydrolysis reaction that involves breaking an ester link, one hydrolysis product contains a hydroxyl functional group, while the other contains a carboxylic acid functional group.

Hydrolysis
This is a type of reaction in which a macromolecule is broken down into smaller molecules.
It is the reverse of condensation (above).

hydrolysis - reaction in which water breaks the covalently linked compound A-B
hydrophilic - water "loving," hydrophilic molecule are soluble in water.
hydrophobic - water "fearing," hydrophobic molecules are quite insoluble in water ...

hydrolysis
(hy-drol-eh-sis) [L. hydro, water + Gk. lysis, loosening]
A chemical process that lyses or splits molecules by the addition of water; an essential process in digestion.
Full article >>>

hydrolysis The decomposition of a chemical compound by the addition of water; the splitting of a molecule into its groupings so that the split products acquire hydrogen and hydroxyl groups.

Hydrolysis splitting of one large molecule into two smaller ones through the addition of a water molecule
(hydro = water; lysis = loosen break apart) ...

In solution, hydrolysis of a growing polymer would soon limit the size it could reach.
Abiotic synthesis produces a mixture of L and D enantiomers. Each inhibits the polymerization of the other.

Hydrolysis. A reaction in which a molecule of water is added at the site of cleavage of a molecule to two products. I Immortalizing oncogene. A gene that upon transfection enables a primary cell to grow indefinitely in culture.

The chemical reaction where water is removed during the formation of a covalent bond linking two monomers is known as ___. a) dehydration; b) hydrolysis; c) photosynthesis; d) protein synthesis
The monomer that makes up polysaccharides is ____. a) ...

Hydrolysis of the ATP results in a recA-ADP complex with less affinity for DNA.
The recA-mediated strand exchange proceeds at a few bp/sec.
If the moving branch encounters a region where four strands are present, symmetric strand exchange begins.

X-gal is a colorless compound but upon hydrolysis by beta-galactosidase releases an indolyl moiety. This product is not colored, but dimerizes after oxidation to form an insoluble and highly colored indigo dye.
Full article >>>

The hydrolysis of ATP is coupled to movement, through the requirement for ATP to restore the configuration of myosin prior to repeating the cycle.
Full article >>>

acetylcholinesterase (AChE) - an enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into acetate and choline. Expression of AChE can serve as a marker of skeletal muscle differentiation.
