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.
