The Catalytic Mechanism of Chymotrypsin & Measuring Activity
Chymotrypsin uses a better nucleophile in the form of the catalytic triad (Figure 9.7): Asp 102, His 57, Ser 195 side chains. The transition state is stabilized by the oxyanion hole – Gly 193 and Ser 195 peptide backbone -NH- groups.

2023年2月13日 — Chymotrypsin is one of the most studied enzymes due to its two phase kinetics: pre-steady-state and steady state. The study of these two kinetic states gives evidence of the "Ping-Pong" mechanism, the formation of covalent complexes leading to covalent hydrolysis reactions, and the rate of the catalyzed reactions.

2024年3月21日 — Chymotrypsin. We will begin with mechanism of action of one enzyme - chymotrypsin. Found in our digestive system, chymotrypsin’s catalytic activity is cleaving peptide bonds in proteins and it uses the side chain of a serine in its mechanism of catalysis.
Catalytic triad - Wikipedia
The triad is exemplified by chymotrypsin, [c] a model serine protease from the PA superfamily which uses its triad to hydrolyse protein backbones. The aspartate is hydrogen bonded to the histidine, increasing the p K a of its imidazole nitrogen from 7 to around 12.
6.5: Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms - Biology LibreTexts
The active site of chymotrypsin contains a catalytic triad, three amino acids working together to carry out the reaction that cleaves the peptide bond. The amino acids involved are the aspartate, histidine, and serine residues mentioned earlier (Figure \(\PageIndex{16}\)).

2023年8月31日 — Consider the mechanism of catalysis of the enzyme known as chymotrypsin. Found in our digestive system, chymotrypsin’s catalytic action is cleaving peptide bonds in proteins and it uses the side chain of a serine in its mechanism of catalysis.
Chymotrypsin - Wikipedia
Trypsin activates chymotrypsinogen by cleaving peptidic bonds in positions Arg15 – Ile16 and produces π-chymotrypsin. In turn, aminic group (-NH3 +) of the Ile16 residue interacts with the side chain of Asp194, producing the "oxyanion hole" and the hydrophobic "S1 pocket".

2023年11月1日 — Chymotrypsin, a protease, is an enzyme that cleaves the carbonyl side of certain peptide bonds by both general acid-base catalysis, but primarily covalent catalysis. In this mechanism, a nucleophile becomes covalently attached to a substrate in …

2019年7月29日 — Found in our digestive system, chymotrypsin’s catalytic action is cleaving peptide bonds in proteins and it uses the side chain of a serine in its mechanism of catalysis. Many other protein- cutting enzymes employ a very similar mechanism and they are known collectively as serine proteases.
