Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of each enzyme listed in the options: Isomerase, Ligase, Polymerase, and Protease.

Recall that hydrolysis of peptide bonds involves breaking down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids by cleaving the bonds between amino acids.

Recognize that Protease is the enzyme specifically responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins. Proteases are a class of enzymes that target proteins and break them down.

Note that Isomerase catalyzes the rearrangement of molecules within a compound, Ligase joins two molecules together, and Polymerase synthesizes polymers such as DNA or RNA, none of which are involved in peptide bond hydrolysis.

Conclude that Protease is the correct answer based on its specific function in protein degradation.
