To write:

Post translational modification via Michael addition.

Introduction:

The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle consist of a series of various chemical reactions in order to release the energy stored by the oxidation of acetyl-CoA (acetyl-Coenzyme A) into carbon dioxide and ATP (adenosine triphosphate). It is also called as the Krebs’s cycle.

The Krebs cycle is called as the citric acid cycle as the metabolic pathway is derived from citric acid, which is used as well as regenerated in a series of reactions in order to complete the cycle. The cycle also requires the acetate and water.

The Michael reaction also known as Michael addition in which there is addition of a nucleophile of a carbanion takes place to the a, ß unsaturated carbonyl compound.

Trypsin uses a nearly identical mechanism as chymotrypsin (including the catalytic triad his57-ser195-asp102. beginning with the enzyme substrate complex draw the complete steps in the trypsin mechanism that occur to release the first product and create the acyl enzyme intermediate in the trypsin active site. The substrate for trypsin to be used is gly-lys-gly-ala
(i) Describe the mechanism of chymotrypsin in cleaving a peptide bond, highlighting the roles of the catalytice triad for the two phases of the catalytic reactions. Explain the significance of the oxyanion hole for the catalysis. (ii) All serine proteases contain the catalytic triad and these amino acids are positioned in the exact same conformation. Since this is true, why do trypsin and chymotrypsin have such different substrate specificity? What features of the enzyme allow for this situation?
In serine protease catalytic triad mechanism, the first and second products that leaves the active site are Carboxylic acid and amide respectively Amide and carboxylic acid respectively Ester and amide respectively Carboxylic acid and ester respectively
