Proteolysis of protease

... out that it conducts proteolysis, which is the break down of peptide bonds between amino acids. However, I know that lipase is a globular protein ... down the peptide bonds between its amino acids? Or do the other bonds (ionic, hydrogen, sulfur bridges, etc.) within the lipase molecule prevent ...

an enzyme is heated

Yes, I think my answer isn't right. I have forgotten one thing: hydrogen bonds are in quaternary structure yet! So it isn't a need to go on secondary structure as I wrote. The quaternary structure is supported by ionic, disulphide, van der Valse and hydrogen bonds. But hydrophobic bonds ...
