The prevention or inhibition of proteolysis, the biological process where proteins are broken down.
From 'anti-' (against) + 'proteolysis' (protein breakdown), a scientific term formed from Greek 'proteos' (protein) + 'lysis' (loosening), used in biochemistry.
Antiproteolysis is crucial in food preservation and medicine—scientists have figured out how to slow down protein breakdown to keep meats fresh longer or prevent certain diseases where proteins degrade too fast.
