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)

- Prepare a schematic diagram and present it as though it were a Figure in a publication (scientificjournal or textbook) (20%). The Figure should illustrate the interactions made between thekey components of (a) total and (b) non-specific binding reactions. In preparing your figure,you should reflect on the role of each of the components of the reaction mixtures, and whythe subtraction of non-specific from total binding allows us to calculate specific binding.arrow_forwardPlease provide Typed solution in details, you can use only handwritten diagramarrow_forwardEnzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the energy activation required to facilitate the process.
