The <scene name='57/573128/2/1'>catalytic triad</scene> is composed of Ser115, His289, and Asp233, which is the same as the catalytic triad in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chymotrypsin chymotrypsin] <ref name="human"/>. A water molecule is occupying the <scene name='57/573128/7/1'>oxyanion hole</scene> and it is hydrogen bonded to Ser115 <ref name="Prom"/>. The purpose of the oxyanion hole is to stabilize the oxyanion that is formed after the nucleophilic attack of the transition state. Ser115 acts as a nucleophile, while His289 and Asp233 are coordinated to Ser115 to lower its pKa value so it can undergo catalytic activity<ref name="Prom"/>. The pKa of the nucleophile in the catalytic triad is lowered to allow the nucleophilic attack<ref name="Prom">Branneby, Cecilia. Exploiting Enzyme Promiscuity for Rational Design.
