chymotrypsin

(kī'mōtrĭp`sĭn), proteolytic, or protein-digesting, enzymeenzyme,
biological catalyst. The term enzyme comes from zymosis, the Greek word for fermentation, a process accomplished by yeast cells and long known to the brewing industry, which occupied the attention of many 19th-century chemists.

Chymotrypsin

an enzyme of the hydrolase class that decomposes proteins and peptides. Chymotrypsin, which is contained in the pancreatic secretions of animals and man, participates, along with trypsin, in the decomposition of food proteins in the small intestine. It is synthesized by the cells of the pancreas in the form of the proenzyme chymotrypsinogen, which is converted under the action of trypsin in the intestine into active chymotrypsin. The activation process includes the splitting of one strictly determined peptide bond in the chymotrypsinogen molecule, which results in the conformational restructuring of the protein molecule and the final formation of the active center of chymotrypsin.

Various forms of chymotrypsin, such as chymotrypsin A, B, and C in certain mammals, have been described, differing in physicochemical properties and certain substrate specificities. Bovine chymotrypsin A, which has a molecular weight of 25,000, was obtained in crystalline form by the American chemists M. Kunitz and J. Northrop in 1935. The molecule consists of 245 amino-acid residues, which are wound into a compact globule with semiaxes measuring 33 and 16.5 angstroms. The three-dimensional structure of chymotrypsin was established by the British scientist D. Blow and his co-workers in 1967 by X-ray diffraction analysis. Numerous forms of chymotrypsin may also be formed in the process of activating chymotrypsinogen, such as the π, δ, and α forms of chymotrypsin A of cattle.

Chymotrypsin belongs to the group of serine proteinases. Its active center includes serine residues, as well as asparaginic-acid and histidine residues, which form a charge-transfer complex. As a result of the transfer of a proton from the serine residue to histidine and then from histidine to an asparaginic-acid residue, there is a negative charge on the serine residue, which acquires the ability to attack the carbonyl carbon of the hydrolyzed peptide bond. Chymotrypsin acts in an alkaline medium (pH 7.0–8.5) and splits primarily the bonds in proteins and peptides that are formed by aromatic amino acids-tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan.

Chymotrypsin has a milk-clotting action. Chymotrypsin-type enzymes have been found in lower vertebrates and insects.

chy·mo·tryp·sin

(kī'mō-trip'sin), Chymotrypsin A, B, or C; a serine proteinase of the gastrointestinal tract that preferentially cleaves carboxyl links of hydrophobic amino acids, particularly at tyrosyl, tryptophanyl, phenylalanyl, and leucyl residues; synthesized in the pancreas as chymotrypsinogen, and subsequently converted to π-, δ-, and finally α-chymotrypsin by successive trypsin-dependent cleavages; proposed for use in the treatment of inflammation and edema associated with trauma and to facilitate intracapsular cataract extraction; chymotrypsin A has the specificity described above, chymotrypsin B is homologous to chymotrypsin A, and chymotrypsin C has a broader specificity (for example, it acts additionally on carboxyl links of methionyl, glutaminyl, and asparaginyl residues).

chymotrypsin

An ENZYME that breaks down (digests) protein to amino acids and simpler substances. It is secreted by the pancreas and released into the DUODENUM. The enzyme is also used to clean wounds and in an earlier form of cataract surgery to cut the suspensory ligament (zonules) of the cataractous lens.

chymotrypsin

an enzyme found in the pancreatic juice of mammals that functions as an endopeptidase, catalysing the hydrolysis of PEPTIDE BONDS. It attacks the carboxyl groups of specific amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine, tryptophan, and methionine) and so produces large peptides. The enzyme works in the alkaline medium of the small intestine and is secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form.
