Hydrolyzing of disaccharides and amino acids

Postby QuizinartBlade » Mon Feb 02, 2009 11:35 am

I'm having trouble understanding the hydrolyzing process in disaccharides and amino acids. Could someone, describe this process to me simply and in easy to understand language? I don't need the whold deal, just kind of an overview of what actually happens.

basically water is added to break the bonds in both molecules. So for Carbs water would break the glycosidic bond and in Proteins water would break the peptide bonds.
