Question

Distinguish between chymotrypsin and chymotrypsinogen

Answer 1

Answer:

CHYMOTRYPSIN

Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme belonging to a super family of enzymes called serine proteases. ... Chymotrypsin is a protease enzyme that cleaves on the C-terminal phenylalanine (F), tryptophan (W), and tyrosine (Y) on peptide chains. It shows specificity for aromatic amino acids because of its hydrophobic pocket.

CHYMOTRYPSINOGEN

Chymotrypsinogen is an inactive precursor (zymogen) of chymotrypsin, a digestive enzyme which breaks proteins down into smaller peptides. Chymotrypsinogen is a single polypeptide chain consisting of 245 amino acid RESIDUES.
