WHAT DOES CHYMOTRYPSIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chymotrypsin

Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme component of pancreatic juice acting in the duodenum where it performs proteolysis, the breakdown of proteins and polypeptides. Chymotrypsin preferentially cleaves peptide amide bonds where the carboxyl side of the amide bond is a large hydrophobic amino acid. These amino acids contain an aromatic ring in their sidechain that fits into a 'hydrophobic pocket' of the enzyme. It is activated in the presence of trypsin. The hydrophobic and shape complementarity between the peptide substrate P1 sidechain and the enzyme S1 binding cavity accounts for the substrate specificity of this enzyme. Chymotrypsin also hydrolyzes other amide bonds in peptides at slower rates, particularly those containing leucine and methionine at the P1 position. Structurally, it is the archetypal structure for its superfamily, the PA clan of proteases.

Definition of chymotrypsin in the English dictionary

The definition of chymotrypsin in the dictionary is a powerful proteolytic enzyme secreted from the pancreas in the form of chymotrypsinogen, being converted to the active form by trypsin.
