The catalytic triade: The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/catalytic triad] of ASP is composed of Asp78, His115 and Ser336. These amino acids are the base is the active site of the protein, where the mode of action of the serine protease takes place.

The catalytic triade: The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ catalytic triad] of ASP is composed of Asp78, His115 and Ser336. These amino acids are the base is the active site of the protein, where the mode of action of the serine protease takes place.

A peptide can be inserted in the space of the active site. There, the amino acids of the catalytic triad will interact together and the mechanism will lead to a cut in the polypeptide.

Mechanism: The mechanism is the following: The histidine will react with the ~~Serine~~ and deprotonate it. The deprotonated hydroxyl group of the serine will act as a nucleophilic species and attack the carbon from the carbonyl function on the peptide. This will lead to the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. At the end, the regeneration of the active site will be done with the release of the peptide cut in two parts.

Mechanism: The mechanism is the following: The histidine will react with the serine and deprotonate it. '''The deprotonated hydroxyl group of the serine will act as a nucleophilic species''' and attack the carbon from the carbonyl function on the peptide. This will lead to the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. Then, a second tetrahedral intermediate will be formed, but with the attack of a deprotonated water molecule. At the end, the regeneration of the active site will be done with the release of the peptide cut in two parts.
