Abstract excerpt
The role of Asp102 in the catalytic relay system of serine proteases is studied theoretically by calculating the free energy profiles of the single proton-transfer reaction by the Asn102 mutant trypsin and the concerted double proton-transfer reaction (so-called the charge-relay mechanism) of the wild-type trypsin. For each reaction, the reaction free energy profile of the rate-determining step (the tetrahedral...
