*'''Trypsin''' is a medium size globular protein that functions as a pancreatic serine protease. This enzyme hydrolyzes bonds by cleaving peptides on the C-terminal side of the amino acid residues lysine and arginine. It has also been shown that cleavage will not occur if there is a proline residue on the carboxyl side of the cleavage site. Trypsin was first discovered in 1876 by Kuhne, who investigated the proteolytic activity of the enzyme. In 1931 the enzyme was purified by crystallization by Norothrop and Kunitz and later in 1974 the three dimensional structure of trypsin was determined.
