enzymes act by having a complementary active site to the shape of a certain molecule, binding to it then reacting it or hydrolyzing it of whatever. trypsins active site happens to be less specific and can fit a wide range of proteins in.

What is a Protein that speeds up chemical reactions in living things?

Enzymes are a type of protein that catalyse chemical reactions. There are many different types. They speed up the reaction by lowering the activation energy. This is the amount of energy needed to begin the reaction. The proteins that are vital to living things because they speed up chemical reactions are called enzymes. They are catalysts that lower the activation energy of chemical reactions.
