Trypsin
Trypsin is a medium sized, globular, digestive serine protease that is synthesized by the pancreas and secreted into the duodenum of the small intestine. Trypsin hydrolyzes peptide bonds based on side chain specificities of the amino acids surrounding the bond to be cleaved. Trypsin's specificity is for the positively charged side chains of lysine and arginine.
Structure
Trypsin's primary structure is a polypeptide chain of 237 amino acids. Trypsin has many important , including two alpha helices (blue) and an anti-parallel beta sheet.
