Chymotrypsinserves as a catalyst in the "Hydrolysis" of pepdite bonds - found in carboxylic groups of amino acids, which consist of aromatic pedand groups and large hydrophobic groups. Chymotrypsin is also known to serve as a catalyst in the Hydrolysis of "ester - and amide bonds" , found in hydrophobic groups. 1. Would you expect theKMof the reactions of Chymotrypsin with the different substrates to have the same value ? explain. 2. Would you expect theVmaxof the reactions of Chymotrypsin with the different substrates to have the same value ? explain. 3. Would you expect the "pH-dependence" of the "hydrolysis - reactions" of the different substrates to be the same for all substrates ? explain your reasoning.
