Protease Mechanisms 1

The video tutorial provides an in-depth understanding of proteases, focusing on their structure, types, and mechanisms. It explains the differences between serine and cysteine proteases, with a particular emphasis on caspases, which are cysteine proteases involved in apoptosis. The tutorial also covers the identification of peptide bonds targeted by proteases and the role of active sites in enzyme function.
