Random Research Highlight: Catalytic triads: The catalytic properties of
enzymes, such as trypsins, containing the ASP-HIS-SER catalytic
triads are deeply investigated for a long time. Serine
endopeptidases, cutinases, acetylcholinesterases, cellulases, among
other enzymes, contain these triads. We have shown that solely
the geometric properties of just four points in the spatial
structure of these enzymes of several hundred amino acids well
characterize their family: that is, just four points describe their
catalytic properties. Biochemical and Biophysical Research
