General description

The trypsin molecule has two domains: one is related to the enzyme active site and the tryptophan residues; the other is related to the 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate binding.
Trypsin Agarose is an insoluble enzyme product. It is produced by reacting a conventional "soluble" enzyme (trypsin) with an inert base (agarose). This insoluble conjugate retains the activity of the original enzyme. Trypsin bound to agarose are highly stable and maintain denaturing conditions for longer time than the soluble trypsin.

Application

A very active and very stable trypsin agarose derivative has been used to optimize the design of the synthesis of a model dipeptide, benzoylarginine leucinamide. Trypsin has also been used in a study to investigate protonation-state determination in proteins using high-resolution X-ray crystallography.
Trypsin Agarose has been used for enzymatic hydrolysis of prolamins and gliadin to generate peptides.

A bond-distance analysis has been undertaken to determine the protonation states of ionizable amino acids in trypsin, subtilisin and lysozyme. The diffraction resolutions were 1.2 Å for trypsin (97% complete, 12% H-atom visibility at 2.5σ), 1.26 Å for subtilisin (100% complete, 11%

Activation and sensitization of trigeminal ganglia (TG) sensory neurons, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory peptides such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), are likely a key component in migraine-related headache induction. Reducing TG neuron excitability represents therefore an attractive alternative
