Endopeptidases cleave peptide bonds within a protein molecule. Their substrates are usually specific amino acid sequences within a protein where cleavage occurs, resulting in smaller peptide fragments. Examples of endopeptidases include trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pepsin.

What is the difference between endopeptidase and ectopeptidase?

Endopeptidase targets peptide links between amino acids in the middle of the protein chain whereas exopeptidases (or ectopeptidases) target the available "ends" of the amino acid chain. This is explains why in the Human body proteins are subject to endopeptidase action before exopeptidase to ensure the maximum amount of "ends" (larger surface area) is possible, increasing efficiency.

How does using substrate modifier change the composition of the substrate?

Using substrate modifiers can alter the chemical structure or properties of the substrate by introducing functional groups that can interact with the substrate through chemical bonds. This can change the reactivity, selectivity, or stability of the substrate, leading to different reaction pathways or products.
