BioRender Template
Mechanism of Cysteine Protease
Description
This template shows the mechanism of cysteine protease activity within an enzyme's active site, where a histidine residue deprotonates the cysteine thiol so it can attack the carbonyl carbon of a peptide substrate bond. Curved red arrows trace the electron movement from the cysteine sulfur to the substrate carbonyl and from the carbonyl oxygen outward.
