What is Zymogen activation by paial proteolysis is an example of and explain in detail?

It means, either the addition of a group to the enzyme protein by a covalent bond; or removal of a group by cleaving a covalent bond. Zymogen activation by paial proteolysis is an example of covalent activation. Addition or removal of a paicular group brings about covalent modification of enzyme protein.
