Question
Chapter 24, Problem 2LGP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Notes for a class presentation on the mechanism of chymotrypsin are to be prepared by considering the role of catalytic triad with regard to acid–base catalysis and the relative propensity of various groups.
Concept introduction:
Pancreatic enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of peptide bonds are generally calledserine proteases because their enzymatic activity involve a serine residue. Chymotrypsin is a pancreatic enzyme that is involved in the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.

He treated a sample of an enzyme that contained four disulfide bridges with 2-mercaptoethanol and then added urea to denature the enzyme. He slowly removed these reagents so that the enzyme could re-fold and re-form the disulfide bridges. The enzyme he recovered had 80% of its original activity. What would be the percent activity in the recovered enzyme if disulfide bridge formation were entirely random rather than determined by the tertiary structure? Does this experiment support his hypothesis?arrow_forward
