Question
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.
