There are more mechanisms of reaction than we could ever hope to cover in a book like this, and comprehensive discussion of these is not our aim. Instead, we will cite some examples and go into detail on one of them - the mechanism of action of serine proteases.

Serine proteases, such as chymotrypsin, cleave peptide bonds through a well-defined catalytic mechanism and exhibit substrate specificity. Other proteases, including caspases, play essential roles in apoptosis. Protease inhibitors regulate enzyme activity and have medical applications.
