The function of trypsin enzyme is:

The function of trypsin enzyme is: Correct Answer Digestion of proteins in the alkaline medium of the intestine

Concept:-

Trypsin enzyme: it is a protease found in the digestive system.

  • Trypsin is produced in the pancreas as the inactive protease trypsinogen.
  • Trypsin cleaves peptide chains mainly at the carboxyl side of the amino acids lysine.

Secreted by:  Pancreas

Process:-

  • Polypeptide + water —> Peptides (Trypsin speeds up the hydrolysis of polypeptides to peptides)

Explanation:-

The function of trypsin enzyme:

  • Digestion of proteins in the alkaline medium of the intestine.
  • In the small intestine, Trypsin breaks down proteins, continuing the process of digestion that began in the stomach 
  • Trypsin is produced by the pancreas in an inactive form called trypsinogen.

Analysis of a hexapeptide using enzymatic cleavage reveals the following result:
• Amino acid composition of the peptide is: 2R, A, V, S, Y
• Trypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (R, A, V) and (R, S, Y)
• Chymotrypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (A, R, V, Y) and (R, S)
• Digestion with carboxypeptidase A yields no cleavage product.
Given: Trypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of R. Chymotrypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of Y. Carboxypeptidase A cleaves at amino side of the C-terminal amino acid (except R and K) of the peptide.
The correct amino acid sequence of the peptide is:
