- the following is a coenzyme or cofactor involved in enzymatic reaction. identify the biochemical role that S-adenosylmethionine plays within a biochemical tranformation.Which of the following statements about ribozyme catalytic residues is INCORRECT? General acid catalysis requires the standarde nucleotide exchangeable proton acidities (represented by pKa values). Ribozymes work by lowering the AG‡ through transition state stabilization without changing the overall AG of the reaction. Some ribozymes cleave phosphodiester bonds, and like proteases, can be autocatalytic. There are fewer known classes of mammalian ribozymes than mammalian enzyles.Chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase all share the same catalytic mechanism, but have different specificities. (a) These proteases are considered serine proteases because the active sites contain serine, histidine and aspartate. Describe the roles that each of these amino acid residues play in hydrolyzing protein substrates. (b) The active site pockets of chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase are shown in the image below. Based on the image, which side chain of the amino acids would they prefer to cleave respectively, Ala, Arg, or Trp? Explain your answers. Val 216KVal 190 Asp 189 Chymotrypsin Trypsin Elastase
