Enzymatic Reaction：
Trypsin is a pancreatic serine protease with substrate specificity based upon positively charged lysine and arginine side chains (Brown and Wold 1973). The enzyme in excreted by the pancreas and takes part in the digestion of food proteins and other biological processes. Trypsin is a medium-sized globular protein and is produced as an inactive proenzyme, trypsinogen (Chen et al. 2009).
Specificity:
Trypsin cleaves peptides on the C-terminal side of lysine and arginine amino acid residues. If a proline residue is on the carboxyl side of the cleavage site, the cleavage will not occur. If an acidic residue is on either side of the cleavage site, the rate of hydrolysis has been shown to be slower.
Applications:
Tissue dissociation, especially when combined with other enzymes such as collagenase, and elastase
Cell harvesting by “trypsinization”
Mitochondria isolation
in vitro studies of proteins
Removing monolayers of cells from plastic and glass
