Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Incorrect Incorrect Dacomplete the following mechanism showing the cleavge of the peptide bond for the following cysteine protease reaction. you only need a catalytic dyad for cystein proteases because the pKa of cysteine is low enough (8) and close enough to the pH of 7.4 that is can easily be deprotonated by histidine.
- (i) Describe the mechanism of chymotrypsin in cleaving a peptide bond, highlighting the roles of the catalytice triad for the two phases of the catalytic reactions. Explain the significance of the oxyanion hole for the catalysis. (ii) All serine proteases contain the catalytic triad and these amino acids are positioned in the exact same conformation. Since this is true, why do trypsin and chymotrypsin have such different substrate specificity? What features of the enzyme allow for this situation?Give the molecular basis of the observed mechanical properties of glutenin, a wheat storage protein rich in disulfide linkagesand responsible for the cohesive and elastic characteristics of dough made from wheat flour. Use not more than 10 short sentences for this item.The pKa for histidine is pKa = 6.1 while that for cysteine is pKa = 8.0 2. Assume that both histidine and cysteine are catalytic groups for a particular enzyme. Assume also that the side chain of cysteine must be in the deprotonated form. Estimate the pH at which the catalytic activity of this enzyme is the maximum and sketch a pH-activity graph.
