The hydrolysis of a peptide bond or bonds within a protein as part of protein maturation, the process leading to the attainment of the full functional capacity of a protein. Any protein maturation process achieved by the cleavage of peptide bonds. The process whereby inactive plasminogen is processed to active plasmin. This process includes cleavage at an internal Arg-Val site to form an N-terminal A-chain and C-terminal B-chain held together by a disulfide bond, and can include further proteolytic cleavage events to remove the preactivation peptide. The proteolytic processing of trypsinogen to the active form, trypsin. The proteolytic processing of an inactive enzyme to an active form.
