The Mechanism of Trypsin
The structure of trypsin is characterized by an active site with a catalytic triad His- Asp- Ser (residue numbers 57, 102 and 195). The His 57 acts as a proton acceptor for the Ser 195, activating the nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group on incident proteins. Asp 102 further stabilizes the histidine residue through hydrogen bonding. The specificity of the active site pocket is characterized by the presence of an anionic Asp residue, 189, used to create ionic interactions to accommodate bulky side chains like Arg and Lys from the other protein
