2.1 Depolymerization reactions
Degradation of macromolecules is mainly produced by hydrolysis. However, there are several known examples where polymers or supramolecular assemblies are dissociated by different mechanisms:
breaking hydrogen bonds: polymeric enzymes ;
breaking of electrostatic and hydrogen bonds: casein micelles ;
protein denaturation involving the breaking of several types of bonds: disulfide bonds...
