Textbook Question

Chapter 22.9, Problem 17P

Carboxypeptidase A has esterase activity as well as peptidase activity, so it can hydrolyze ester bonds as well as peptide bonds. When carboxypeptidase A hydrolyzes ester bonds. Glu 270 acts as a nucleophilic catalyst instead of a general-base catalyst. Propose a mechanism for the carboxypeptidase A-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester bond.
