From sites B and E in the DEV model, a closed circuit can be made in which
the active sites of trypsin are found. In the presence of a substrate, the
hydrophobic amino acid sequence near to the cleavage site of the substrate
enters into the trypsin closed circuit. This closed circuit is considered t
o be a channel for information transfer. Information transfer can start fro
m anywhere in the molecule and enters into the closed circuit. The mode of
transfer is unique to biological catalysis, in contrast to chemical catalys
is which operates by a one way transfer of information.
