Trypsin is a digestive enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins at the carboxyl terminus of lysine or arginine amino acids.Suppose you added trypsin to a test tube with a protein that contained lysine and arginine amino acids and that the conditions allowed trypsin to be active.What would you expect to observe as the reaction occurred?
