I am trying to understand what are the catalytic histidine residues acting as a base and the histidine residue acting as an acid. For the Chymotrypsin mechanism. Please explain.
There are 3 different proteases that have catalytic triad ,that are chymotrypsin ,trypsin and elastase. In chymotrypsin the catalytic triad is made from serine 195, histidine57 and aspatatae102.The side chain of serine is bonded with the imidazole ring of histidine residue.
Here histidine residue accept a proton from serine to from a strong alkoxide nucleophile, so the histidine acts as best proton accepter. Hence it act as a base.
Again after aspartate deprotonation ,deprotonation of histidine takes place, proton transfor from histidine to aspartate. So here histidine acts as an acid.

The chymotrypsin catalytic triad contains one Histidine and one Serine residue. Explain, in some detail and in chemical terms, how an a) a Histidine to Alanine mutation, and b) a Serine to Cysteine mutation in the chymotrypsin catalytic triad might affect catalytic activity of this enzyme.

Depicted below are a peptide substrate and the three catalytic residues within the chymotrypsin active site Note that the 2-dimensional geometry is only roughly shown. R1 represents a large hydrophobic amino acid and R represents other amino acids. The R groups of the catalytic triad of aspartate (Asp102), serine (Ser195), and histidine (His57) are shown. Select the atoms that act as nucleophiles and electrophiles in the acylation phase of the reaction Scroll down for more of this question...
6 pts Let's consider a protein with two surface-exposed histidine residues. • Hisa is a “typical” histidine residue with pKa = 6.0 • His is involved in a stabilizing interaction (His-NH+ ... -0_C-Glu) with a neighboring glutamic acid residue. For Hisp, the Gibbs free energy of deprotonation at pH = 7.0 and T = 293 K is AG'° = +15 kJ mol-1. a) What is the fraction of protonated Hisa at pH = 7.0 and T = 293 K? b)...
I have the solution to this problem, and have posted it. I am
trying to understand why they did what they did. I do not
understand why they left out [A] in the steady state equation. I
also do not understand why they multiyply by Kf, or why they divide
Ia by If. If anyone could help me understand that would be
great.
7. Lysozyme has two key catalytic residues, Glu 35 with a pKa of 5.9 and Asp 52 with a pKa of 4.5. If the pH optimum for this enzyme is 5.0, what does this tell you about the mechanism? a. Glu 35 acts more likely a general acid than Asp 52. b. Glu 35 acts more likely a general base than Asp 52. c. Asp 52 acts more likely a general acid than Glu 35. d. None of the above...
