Which of the following functional groups of the amino acid residue L - serine of the protein present on the active site of enzyme attacks the substance molecule to carry out the chemical reaction?

A

`H-`

B

`overset(+)NH_(3^(-))`

C

`HO -`

D

`COO-`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The part of the amino acid which lies outside the box acts as a nucleophile in enzyme catalyed reactions but the part of the amino acid which is enclosed in the box is involved in the formation of peptide bond in protein molecules.
