These substrates, along with many others, are cleaved by DPP IV at its active site containing a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_triad catalytic triad] composed of <scene name='57/573132/1x70_catalytictriad/1'>Ser630, His740, and Asp708</scene>.

The substrate shown is a DPP IV inhibitor. This Serine-Histidine-Asparatate motif, best known in the enzyme [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chymotrypsin chymotrypsin], uses acid-base chemistry to facilitate the binding, cleaving, and release of the given substrate. The mechanism of the reaction is as follows: | ||

# Substrate binds to enzyme and carbonyl carbon is positioned by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site active site]. | # Substrate binds to enzyme and carbonyl carbon is positioned by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_site active site]. | ||
# | # Histidine, via hydrogen bond with asparatate, becomes more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativity electronegative] and therefore readily accepts the hydrogen from the -OH group on serine, making it [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophile nucleophilic].
