A more recent crystal structure of α-Lytic protease, published in 2006 with 0.82 Å resolution argues against both the his flip mechanism and the presence of a LBHB between His57 and Asp102 (2.755 Å in this structure). Fuhrmann ''et al'' suggests that a LBHB may have been present in the subtilisin strucutre, it is not required for the serine protease mechanism. Instead they state that the chymotrypsin-like proteases may use a network of optimized hydrogen bonds to position the stabilize the tetrahedral intermediate and position the catalytic triad. Ser195 undergoes a shift of ~1Å upon protonation of His57 that destabilizes the His57-Ser195 H-bond. This conformation change would prevent His57 from reprotonating Ser195 leading to regeneration of the substrate.<ref name="subang" /> | A more recent crystal structure of α-Lytic protease, published in 2006 with 0.82 Å resolution argues against both the his flip mechanism and the presence of a LBHB between His57 and Asp102 (2.755 Å in this structure).
