To answer this question we have to talk a process called: "Translation". After the "Transcription", that is, the mechanism from where a mRNA molecule is synthesized from a DNA double helix. The mRNA molecule migrates outside the nucleus to the cytoplasm and specifically to the ribosomes (a complex protein organelles that serve as building machines for new polypeptide molecules). The mRNA molecule carries the specific sequence for the synthesis of the new polypeptide (protein) chain and serves as a "template" for the proper order of the amino acids that will constitute the new protein molecule. To add the amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain are necessary the tRNA molecules (these RNA structures carry a single amino acid that will be added to the growing polypeptide chain). Each tRNA has a specific three-nucleotide sequence (called "anticodon") that recognizes the corresponding three-nucleotide sequence (codon) on the mRNA molecule. Each amino acid monomer (carried by its particular tRNA) is anchored, one by one, to the previous amino acid that was added before by a peptide bond. This mechanism is taken place in a particular region of the ribosome, a cleft that provides the nascent polypeptide's exit path.

What would Hydrolysis of a protein produce?

Hydrolysis of a protein would break down the protein into its constituent amino acids. This process involves adding water to the protein molecule, causing the peptide bonds between amino acids to be cleaved, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.
