Chymotrypsin cleaves polypeptides preferentially on the carbonyl side of aromatic, and some other bulky nonpolar residues. Trypsin cleaves on the carbonyl side of positively charged residues. Digestion of a polypeptide having the composition-Ala₂, Gly, Lys₂, Phe, Thr, Trp, Val, independently by these two proteases yielded peptide fragments as shown below.
Trypsin | Chymotrypsin |
|---|---|
1. Ala-Ala-Trp-Gly-Lys | 1. Gly-Lys |
2. Thr-Phe-Val-Lys | 2. Thr-Phe |
| 3. Val-Lys-Ala-Ala-Trp |
