- Trypsin is a serine protease formed in the small intestine and catalyzes the hydrolysis of smaller peptides. As with other members of its family, it possesses a (His-57, Asp-102, and Ser-195). This active site produces a nucleophilicity that enables its reaction with the serine groups on its substrate, i.e. smaller peptides. Within the catalytic triad-active site, an oxyanion hole exists that essentially stabilizes the acyl-intermediate states of the reaction, creating a binding pocket for the reaction to take place. These acyl-intermediates are key in protease reactions, as they are very susceptible to hydrolysis reactions, providing an opportunity for the second substrate of trypsin (water) to hydrolyze the interaction between His-57 and the attached C-terminus end of the protein substrate.. To stabilize this process, Asp-189 stabilizes the reaction by mediating an interaction with Lys or other positively-charged residues on the smaller protein.
