Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Chymotrypsin is a serine protease that cleaves peptide bonds at the carboxyl side of aromatic amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan. It is produced as inactive chymotrypsinogen and activated via proteolytic cleavage. Its catalytic triad (Ser195‑His57‑Asp102) enables rapid hydrolysis of polypeptides.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in proteolysis research, enzyme‑kinetics studies, peptide‑mapping, protein‑digestion workflows, tissue‑remodelling research and biotechnological processing of proteins.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include allergenicity, respiratory sensitisation if aerosolised, skin irritation and enzymatic tissue damage. Handle with enzyme‑powder PPE.
