Dictionary » N » N-alpha-acetylenkephalin carboxypeptidase N-alpha-acetylenkephalin carboxypeptidaseN-alpha-acetylenkephalin carboxypeptidase (Science: enzyme) removes sequentially 2 amino acids from c-terminal end of n-acetyl(met5)- or n-acetyl(leu5)-enkephalins; non-acetylated enkephalins less active; a metallocarboxypeptidase Registry number: EC 3.4.17.- Synonym: n-acetyltyrosine deacetylase ![]()

Results from our forumCell Biothat's a common mechanism in enzymes, not only in carboxypeptidase. However, the point is, there are several of these "weak" bonds and their sum is strong enough to stretch the peptide causing to be better to hydrolyse.

Cell BioWhy (in detail please) in the carboxypeptidase mechanism, the weak bonds between an enzyme and a substrate will stretch the peptide bond of the substrate which lowers the bond energy? I just want to know why in detail this happens... Thank ...
