Madhur L.
A critical transition state in serine protease catalysis is the "tetrahedral intermediate". Briefly describe the role played by each member of the catalytic triad in the process of forming the first tetrahedral intermediate.
Adi S.
Diagram the catalytic triad of serine proteases and indicate H-bonding. Note: drawing the side chains of amino acid residues involved is sufficient.
