Interpretation:
The evolutionary relationship suggested by the similar structures of chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Proteolytic enzymes are the enzymes found in the digestive tract involved in the cleavage of the peptide bonds that constitute the primary structure of polypeptides.
Proteolytic enzymes that cleave the peptide bond are found in the pancreases and are often referred to as serine proteases because of the presence of a nucleophilic serine at the active site of the active site. They are classified on the basis of the substrate specificity. For example, the trypsin cleaves specifically at the carboxyl end of positively charged amino acids such as arginine or lysine except for the cases when they are followed by amino acid proline.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
