Summary
| Description |
English:
An enzyme (
TEV protease
) bound to a substrate (black) contains a catalytic triad of residues (red). The triad consists of an acidic residue (
Acid
), histidine (
Base
) and the nucleophile (
Nuc
). In the case on TEV protease, the acid is aspartate and the nucleophile is cysteine. (
