Trypsin

Trypsin is a medium size globular protein that functions as a pancreatic serine protease. Trypsin was first discovered in 1876 by Kuhne, who investigated the proteolytic activity of the enzyme.

Structure

Trypsin has many important structural aspects. The

Trypsin protein with structural aspects shown.

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate
secondary structures are shown this figure . The main backbone of the trypsin protein is shown in yellow . Trypsin has two alpha helices shown in blue and two beta sheets shown in green . The beta sheets in the Trypsin protein are antiparallel to each other and connected by a Beta-hairpin turn.

Polar vs. Nonpolar Residues

This image shows the of the residues in the protein.
