Which of the following mutations would have the least effect on the specificity of trypsin?
Added by Eugenia H.
Step 1
Trypsin is a digestive enzyme that specifically cleaves peptide bonds after lysine and arginine residues in proteins. Its specificity is crucial for its role in digestion. Show more…

Which mutations would have little to no effect on Chymotrypsin function? (you may select more than one answer) His to Lys Ser to Thr Asp to Tyr His to Pro Ser to Ala Asp to Glu

Think about the type of reaction that is catalyzed by chymotrypsin. Which single mutation would be most likely to make ΔG° for this reaction more positive? None of the mutation options is suitable because none of these mutations is expected to change ΔG° at all. None of the mutation options is suitable because these mutations are more likely to make ΔG° more negative: Asp -> Ala, His -> Ala, Ser -> Ala.

An enzyme you are studying has an aspartate residue in a critical spot in the active site. If the enzyme was mutated, what change in that amino acid would be least likely to affect enzyme function? Explain.
