Overview and Function

An easy way to distinguish between main structural component of the protein is to view it using rainbow coloration. To see various other specific structures of Trypsin, click on their links.


Structure

Trypsin's primary amino acid sequence forms two α helices and two β sheets. Both of the α helices are right handed and the β sheets are anti-parallel. The order of the secondary structures is easily visible when using the rainbow coloration scheme to identify secondary structures. The N-terminus (blue) is the beginning of trypsin and the C-terminus (agua-green) is the end.
