Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind broad substrate specificity of chymotrypsin advantageous in vivo.

Concept introduction: Enzymes are biocatalysts that speed up the reaction. Enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates. Enzyme has its absolute specificity. Enzymes are specific for particular type of chemical bond or functional group.
