**Question:**

Which protein does not hydrolyze other proteins?

**Options:**

- Carboxypeptidase
- Trypsin
- Cytochrome C
- CNBr

**Explanation:**

The selected option is "CNBr" (Cyanogen Bromide), which is not a protein but a chemical reagent. It is commonly used in the cleavage of peptide bonds, specifically at methionine residues in polypeptides, and does not hydrolyze proteins in a biological sense like the enzymes carboxypeptidase and trypsin. Cytochrome C is involved in electron transport and not in protein hydrolysis.
