Specifications

Chymotrypsin preferentially catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds involving L-isomers of tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan. It also readily acts upon amides and esters of susceptible amino acids. Chymotrypsin catalyzes the hydrolysis of bonds of leucyl, methionyl, asparaginyl and glutamyl residues. Chymotrypsinogen A is extracted from pancreatic tissue as a zymogen. Pancreatic extract contains approximately equal amounts of two forms of the zymogen, chymotrypsin A and chymotrypsin B. Chymotrypsin A may be activated to alpha, pi, beta, or gamma chymotrypsin. The enzyme is inhibited by heavy metals, the natural trypsin inhibitors to various degrees, an inhibitor from potato, and organophosphorous compounds.
