Scope and Contents

Contents

Studies on the catalytic mechanism and inhibition of serine proteases are widely used as paradigms for teaching enzyme catalysis. Ground-breaking work on the structures of chymotrypsin and subtilisin led to the idea of a conserved catalytic triad formed by the active site Ser, His and Asp residues. An oxyanion hole, consisting of the peptide amide...
