Using Site-Direcled Muta.nts to Understand an Enzyme Mechanism In this chapter, the exponent in which Craik and Rutter replaced Asp102 with Asn in trypsin (reducing activity 10,000 -fold) was discussed.
- On the basis of your knowledge of the catalytic triad structure in trypsin, suggest a structure for the “uncatalytic triad" of Asn-His-Ser in this mutant enzyme.
- Explain why the structure you have proposed explains the reduced activity of the mutant trypsin.
- See the original journal articles (Sprang, et al., 1987. Science 237:905-913) to Craik, et al., 1987. Scieence 237:909-913) to see Craik and Rutter's answer to this question.
