Mutational analysis of the important amino acids in the catalytic triad of serine proteases showed that replacing Asp102 or modifying His57 with amethyl group decreased the reaction rate about 5000-fold. However,mutating Ser195 decreased the reaction rate a millionfold. Discuss why mutating Ser had a larger impact than the other members of the catalytic triad.
