  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009601",
  "term": "Proteolytic peptide",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A short peptide fragment generated from a larger protein through the action of a proteolytic enzyme. These peptides are typically produced in a controlled manner for subsequent analysis, such as mass spectrometry-based protein identification. The specific cleavage sites of the protease determine the sequence and length of the resulting peptides.",
