proteolysis
This term is a specialized biochemical descriptor used almost exclusively in scientific, medical, and academic registers. It describes a specific chemical process rather than a general action, making it appropriate for research papers, textbooks, and clinical reports, but out of place in casual conversation.
As a technical term for a biological process, it is an uncountable noun. It refers to the phenomenon of protein degradation as a whole and does not have a plural form in standard scientific usage.
