Trypsin and chymotrypsin are members of the family of serine proteases. They cleave peptide bonds at the C-terminal end of specific residues. Chymotrypsin recognizes aromatic residues, while trypsin recognizes lysine and arginine. The recognition of a particular side chain (side chain specificity) is fully determined by the structure and properties of the binding pocket. In the case of chymotyipsin the binding pocket is hydrophobic and is wide enough to accommodate an aromatic ring. Given what you know about the properties of Lys/Arg side chains, what can you say about the size/shape and possible interactions that would provide the substrate specificity in the case of trypsin? What amino acid residues from the trypsin molecule would you expect to find in the binding site?

Choose one of the transition or inner transition metals from the periodic table. (I choose Titanium) Using Chapter 23 of Chemistry, The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change, and Internet resources, discuss why your transition metal and their compounds display a variety of color. Be sure to include in your discussion, important oxidation states, the electron configuration and how the d-electrons are involved. How can you include the electromagnetic spectrum and the nature of light into your discussion? How is energy and wavelength related? Use your knowledge of the emission and absorption of light in your discussion. Remember to site your sources in APA style.
