Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme with a catalytic optimum between pH 7.8 and 8.0. However, due to the presence of gastric juice, chymotrypsin often functions in an environment of pH 5.5-7.0. The imidazole group of free histidine has a pK, of 6.0. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to determine the ratio of deprotonated to protonated His 57 imidazole moieties at pH 6.9. pH = pK₂ + log ( [His] [His+] 6.0 (VVI) Incorrect Aside from positioning, what do you think is the role of the Asp 102 residue? It allows nucleophilic attack by His 57. It raises the pK, of His 57. It protonates His 57 prior to substrate binding.

- Proteases are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds using general acid–base catalysis. General acid–base catalysis relies on a proton donor or acceptor other than water. Proteases rely on proton transfer to create strong nucleophiles from active-site amino acid residues. In the protease chymotrypsin, an active-site serine is a potent nucleophile. A nearby residue, His 57, interacts with serine to increase its reactivity. A schematic of chymotrypsin’s active site illustrates the active site Ser 195 and His 57 R groups. The Asp 102 residue helps position the His 57 residue via hydrogen bonding.Small molecules are used as inhibitors of protein action - as drugs. They most often do this by blocking the active site within the protein. Potential drugs can be screened computationally to determine if they are strongly bound to the protein. Figure 1 shows a possible conformation of a candidate drug molecule, 4-bromo-2- carboxymethylamide-pyrrole (abbreviation: BCMAP) at the active site of a protein (abbreviation: PR). Figure 2 shows the full protein structure whilst figure 3 shows a known inhibitor of the protein at the site, overlayed with another calculated conformer of BCMAP. (a) Explain what types of interactions, both intermolecular and intramolecular, that a molecular mechanics forcefield must be able to describe in order to be able to accurately determine the geometry of BCMAP in the protein. Identify which interactions will be the most important to describe accurately. Figure 1.4-bromo-2-carboxymethylamide-pyrrole (BCMAP) (C, N, O, and Br atoms in yellow, blue, red, and…3CLpro is a cysteine protease, which are among the most common proteases in biochemistry, however they are a structurally diverse family of enzymes especially in the organization of the active site amino acids. A group of scientists have reported a potential drug molecule based on a binding study using circular dichroism. They report that the molecule binds to the active site. Can the experiment support the claims, why or why not? Which techniques might be used to support this claim?
- Some of the following four amino acids : alanine, arginine, histidine, aspartic acid would provide a side chain for acid-base catalysis at physiological pH (assume pK of each amino acid is equal to pK value for the free amino acid in solution). Explain for each amino acid how and why each would or would not provide the side chain residue to support acid-base catalysis at physiological pH.Which of the following statements are descriptions of metal ion catalysis or examples of metal ion catalysis? Choose all correct answers a Zn²+ cofactor may properly orient the substrate in the active site through ionic interactions. a covalent bond forms between enzyme and substrate lowers the energy or stabilizes the transition state or intermediate catalyst retains its original form after reaction occurs catalysts may participate in oxidation-reduction reactions by changes in the oxidation stateH CH₂ H₂C HC-CH3 CH₂ H H₂C (S) H₂C H CH₂ CH₂ CH₂ NH O C NH NH₂ a) Which of the following statements about this peptide are correct? Group of answer choices Treatment of this peptide with trypsin generates two products. This peptide is a substrate for carboxypeptidase A Treatment of this peptide with cyanogen bromide generates a pentapeptide and a tripeptide. Treatment of this peptide with chymotrypsin generates three products. Treatment of this peptide with elastase generates 2 products. None of the above statements are correct. b) What is the sequence of this peptide using one letter abbreviations? c) What is the pH which would correspond to the ionization of the peptide as drawn above? 1, 5, 7, 10, 14
- The diagram below shows the substrate binding cleft for a protease, providing the substrate structure, and indicating the residues (using one-letter code) that line the four specificity pockets. 1 M F H₂N K R IZ 2 3 P F S W оо E 4 The protease is known to cleave the amide linkage between W and E residues for substrates containing the WEFD sequence. Using 3-letter code with amino acids linked by a "dash" (ex. GLY-ALA), the N-terminal product is A and the C-terminal product is Aif the reaction pH drops significantly (pH=2 for example), how would reaction catalyzed be serine proteases be affected? why? (assumin that the rest of the protein structure remain intact)Bovine chymotrypsin is a serine protease. The enzyme is structurally stable over the pH range of 4.0 – 10.0. It exhibits optimum protease activity in the pH range of 7.5 – 9.0, but its protease activity is strongly inhibited at pH < 6.0. Based on your knowledge of serine protease mechanisms, how would you explain this effect of pH on chymotrypsin’s mechanism of catalysis?
- An engineered ligand binds its target with 5 nM affinity at high pH. However, protonation of a histidine residue in the binding site of the ligand renders it unable to bind. Plot the ligand:target complex concentration versus the initial ligand concentration (in protonated or unprotonated form) at pH 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 (five lines on one plot). Use a total target concentration of 10 nM.complete the following mechanism showing the cleavge of the peptide bond for the following cysteine protease reaction. you only need a catalytic dyad for cystein proteases because the pKa of cysteine is low enough (8) and close enough to the pH of 7.4 that is can easily be deprotonated by histidine.Here is a putative peptide sequence (position number on top of residues): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NH2- G C G N V T H N Q C V L S -COOH If expressed in a eukaryotic cell (please mark your answer in the blank space): Position(s) ___ could be N-glycosylated Position(s) ___ could be modified with myristic acid and the bond formed would be a ______________ Position(s) ______and _____ could be modified with palmiti c acid and the bond formed would be a ______________ Positio n(s) ________ could be a segment of a lipid-linked protein with a farnesyl anchor and the bond formed would be a ______________ Position(s) ________ could be a segment of an O-glycosylated protein Position(s) ________ could be modified with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor Position(s) ________ could be phosphorylated
