Chymotrypsin, trypsin, and elastase are digestive enzymes called serine proteases. The serine proteases differ in substrate spec

ificity. Chymotrypsin cleaves peptide bonds after aromatic or bulky hydrophobic side chains, trypsin requires basic amino acid residues, and elastase cleaves bonds following small uncharged side chains. A chart of amino acids is available for your reference. Determine which specificity pocket is a part of each enzyme.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. charge in trypsin

: two other molecules in elastase

2. Chymotrypsin cleaves peptide bonds after bulky or aromatic side chains, such as those of the amino acids phenylalanine or tyrosine. The specificity pocket, or substrate-binding site, is deep and has hydrophobic side chains.  

Trypsin cleaves peptide bonds following basic amino acid side chains. Lysine and arginine both have basic amino acid side chains that are positively charged at pH 7. Trypsin's substrate-binding site contains a negatively charged amino acid residue.

Elastase cleaves peptide bonds after amino acids with small side chains, such as glycine, alanine, or valine. The specificity pocket for elastase has bulky side chains that block larger amino acid side chains, but can accomodate smaller side chains, such as the -H, -CH3, and -CH(CH3)2 side chains of glycine, alanine, and valine, respectively.

3. Their binding pockets

  •  chymotrypsin = deep & wide
  • elastase = aliphatic a.a. = shallow

When our bodies overcome the offensive tactics of a particular microorganism, this is referred to as? a) therapy. b) colonizatio
ikadub [295]

When our bodies overcome the offensive tactics of a particular microorganism, this is referred to as Resistance.

The body's defense against infection is provided by the immune system, a complex network of organs, cells, and proteins that also safeguards the body's own cells.

Our immune system remembers every germ (microbe) that the immune system has ever eliminated, allowing it to promptly identify and eliminate the microbe if it re-enters the body.

The body contains a number of additional mechanisms in addition to the immune system for defending itself against microorganisms, such as:

The skin acts as a waterproof barrier and secretes oil that has antibacterial qualities.

Lungs: Phlegm (mucous) in the lungs collects foreign particles, and tiny hairs (cilia) waft the phlegm upward so that it can be expelled through coughing.

digestive tract: Most germs can be killed by stomach acid and the mucous lining, which contains antibodies.

Added defenses include the anti-bacterial enzymes found in body fluids like skin oil, saliva, and tears, which can lower the chance of infection. Constant bowel and urinary tract flushing are also beneficial.

Why does dna replication occur inside the cell?
Brilliant_brown [7]
This is because both strands of DNA have complementary bases. The nucleotide sequence of each automatically gives the needed information to produce its partner. This needed information is Genetic/DNA/Parent Cell. Each cell serves as it's own template in order to acquire this.

What causes the formation of graded beds of sediment?​
Mamont248 [21]

In geology, a graded bed is one characterized by a systematic change in grain or clast size from one side of the bed to the other. Most commonly this takes the form of normal grading, with coarser sediments at the base, which grade upward into progressively finer onesI just learned about this in our rocks and minerals unit for science,
