In vivo, chymotrypsin is a proteolytic enzyme (Serine protease) acting in the digestive systems of many organisms. It facilitates the cleavage of peptide bonds by a hydrolysis reaction, which despite being thermodynamically favorable occurs extremely slowly in the absence of a catalyst.
Chymotrypsin preferentially cleaves peptide amide bonds where the carboxyl side of the amide bond (the P 1 position) is a large hydrophobic amino acid (tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine).
