single amino acid nucleophile Explanation: The observed selectivity for single amino acid substrates in acetonitrile for peptide synthesis was dramatically different than that observed for ester hydrolysis in aqueous solutions where no significant preference for single amino acid derivatives was apparent (Table 2). https://books.google.es/books?id=ESxmF-ffqfkC&pg=PA333&dq=no... The primary alcohol of serine and threonine as well as the thiol (–SH) of cysteine allow these amino acids to act as nucleophiles during enzymatic catalysis. http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/amino-acids.php |
