Trypsins have an optimal operating pH of about 8 and optimal operating temperature of about 37°C. The aspartate residue (Asp 189) located in the catalytic pocket (S1) of trypsins is responsible for attracting and stabilizing positively-charged lysine and/or arginine, and is thus responsible for the specificity of the enzyme.
Trypsins are considered endopeptidases, i.e., the cleavage occurs within the polypeptide chain rather than at the terminal amino acids located at the ends of polypeptides.
Trypsin is produced in the pancreas in the form of inactive zymogen, trypsinogen.

 Trypsin - Definition, explanation
Trypsin is a digestive enzyme that cleaves peptide bonds (a serine protease).
Trypsin is produced in the pancreas in the form of trypsinogen, and is then transported to the small intestine, where begins the digestion of proteins to polypeptides and amino acids.
In a tissue culture lab, trypsin is used to re-suspend cells adherent to the petri dish wall during the process of harvesting cells.

 TPCK Trypsin and Immobilized TPCK Trypsin
Trypsin is a 23.8 kDa pancreatic serine endoprotease derived from trypsinogen, an inactive precursor zymogen, after enzymatic removal of an n-terminal leader sequence by enterokinase.
Trypsin cleaves only those peptide bonds in which the carboxyl group is contributed by a lysine or an arginine residue, regardless of the length or amino acid sequence of the chain.
Immobilized trypsin can be substituted for free trypsin in any application, and is advantageous because it virtually eliminates autolysis, eliminates contamination of a sample with the protease and allows control of the digestion by removing the trypsin.

 The Scientist : Trypsin protection
The trypsin observed in the Paneth cells of the small intestine processes human defensin-5.
They found that a specific pattern of trypsin isozymes is expressed in Paneth cells and that trypsin colocalizes with HD.
"By acting as a prodefensin convertase, and perhaps through signaling effects, trypsin released from Paneth cells after microbial or inflammatory stimuli may be central to the activation of innate immune responses in the human small intestine," conclude the authors.

 [No title]
EDTA has the same effect as trypsin, i mean we can detach cells using EDTA alone and its much gentler on cells than trypsin, so i think its added to trypsin to enhance its effect and i read also that it can decrease the clumbing of cells.
Trypsin cuts the adhesion proteins in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions (i don't remember the specific site), and EDTA is a calcium chelator, which integrins needs to interact with other proteins for cell adhesion-- no calcium, no cell adhesion.
The reason why we use PBS without Ca2+/Mg2+ to wash the cells prior to trypsinisation is to reduce the concentration of Divalent cations and proteins that inhibit trypsin action.

 Trypsin, Proteomics Grade
Proteomics Grade Trypsin has been extensively purified from porcine pancreas to enable accurate and precise cleavage on the carboxylic acid side of Arg and Lys residues.
Further purification steps including affinity chromatography and lyophilization from dilute acid produce a highly-purified, high specific activity trypsin purposely suited for the demanding criteria of proteomics research, and is designed to function for either in-solution or in-gel digests.
Because the Trypsin IGD Kit contains Proteomics Grade Trypsin, a higher sequence coverage and fewer ambiguous autolytic peaks are observed in MALDI spectra.
