3. The compound trypsin is a digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas. Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the rates of reactions in cells. Each chemical reaction requires a different enzyme due to the specificity of an enzyme for a particular set of reactants. What do the results of your Ninydrin and Biuret tests on trypsin tell you about the chemical nature of enzymes?
