Comparative Stability of Trypsin and Chymotrypsin in Human Intestinal Juice

Abstract

Chymotrypsin is more stable than trypsin in human intestinal juice at 37.5[degree] as measured by enzymatic degradation of denatured hemoglobin. After a one-half hour incubation, 63% of the initial chymotrypsin activity and 8% of the initial trypsin activity is observed.
