The determination of the three-dimensional structure ofchymotrypsin, the first structure reported for aserinepeptidase[29], allowed a deeper insight into the mechanism of action of serinepeptidases. The data from the X-ray diffraction measurements have shown the Ser and His residues to be in proper...
Illustrations of the molecular structure of chymotrypsin, a typical enzyme, and the location of its active site appear in figs. 1-1A and B. The polypeptide chain is shown as a ribbon diagram, and the active site is the region in which an inhibitor, the black ball-and-stick model, is ...
Analytical gradients were used to optimize the geometry of the molecular partners and to sense the interactions among them when they make up for the active site in chymotrypsin. Reaction fields of graded strengths were used to sense the response of the active site to protein surrounding effects....
It has been suggested that the chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of specific substrates is described by a three-step mechanism: [see PDF for equation] and that for esters k23 is much greater than k34, and K's is greater than the steady state kinetic parameter Km(app). Steady state kinetic...
As the first atomic resolution structures of any intramembrane proteases, the crystal structures of prokaryotic rhomboids from Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae were a breakthrough in understanding the mechanism of intramembrane proteolysis [15•, 16•, 17•, 18•]. Since the structures...

Each β-ring of the constitutive proteasome (cP) harbors a set of three catalytic β-subunits (X/β5, Y/β1, Z/β2) which are constitutively expressed throughout the body and display different substrate preferences, often referred to as chymotrypsin-like (CT-L), caspase-like (C-L) and...
In order to investigate the mechanism of 20S proteasome regulation, we first aimed to determine the mode of CCR inhibition. For this, we performed kinetic assays, in which we titrated the fluorogenic substrate Suc-LLVY-AMC and measured the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome. The de...

It should be noted that Arg3704 (alternatively referred to as Arg37D), a residue unique to FXIa, is the fourth amino acid after residue 37 (chymotrypsin numbering) (7), residue 395 in mature FXI, or residue 76 of the catalytic domain of FXIa, whereas similarly Tyr5901 (alternatively ...
