Question

Consider the hypothetical serine protease below, which shows the specificity pockets. The S_1 pocket has glutamic acid in the bottom, the S_2 pocket is small and hydrophobic, and the S_1' pocket is deep and hydrophobic. Suggest a 3 amino acid sequence that this protease would cleave and indicate between which sites the peptide bond would be broken. Which of the following sequences would this protease cleave? Arg-Gly-Met Arg-Met-Gly Met-Arg-Gly Gly-Arg-Met Gly-Met-Arg Met- Gly-Arg The peptide bond that is broken is between ... S_2 and S_1 S_1 and S_1'

Explanation / Answer

Which of the following would this protease cleave?


answer =. Gly-–-Arg- Met


answer = S1 and S1'
