a-Chymotrypsin Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This is a digestive enzyme component of the pancreatic juice acting in the duodenum. It is a proteolytic enzyme which is activated in the presence of trypsin. Chymotrypsin cleaves peptide amide bonds where the side chain of the amino acid N-terminal to the scissile amide bond is a large hydrophobic amino acid (tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine). While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 9004-07-3 Quantity Provided: 250 mg per bottle a-Chymotrypsin has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. Chymotrypsin majorly cleaves the peptide bonds in amino acids such as tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, or leucine. The enzyme finds applications in various research studies and biochemical processes. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
