Question

Protease is an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking of amide bonds which is very stable at “mild” conditions, namely body temperature and pH 7 (if done in the lab requires hot conditions, concentrated HCl for hours). Some proteases have two aspartic acid residues at their active sites. Write the reaction mechanism (which follows general acid-base catalysis)
