- Construct the mechanism of a serine-protease with a catalytic triad.arrow_forwardStreptokinase is an enzyme produced by Streptococci bacteria and is used to digest fibrin clots. It is therefore very effective at eliminating blood clots that cause heart attacks and strokes. Why does a physician not worry that injecting streptokinase will also destroy healthy tissue in their patients? – this answer should discuss the specificity of enzymes for their substrates, defined by the shape of the active site.arrow_forwardFor the electron transport chain, draw the structure of the intermediate metabolite and write the name of the enzyme that catalyzes each step.arrow_forward

You may assume that steric effects do not distort the active site so much that catalysis cannot take place; focus your analysis on discussing the chemistry the amino acid side chains are able to perform and the properties that enable them to do so.
