Savinase is a serine protease, that you probably all seen in action. This is due to its wide use as an enzyme in detergents.

Proteases are amazing enzymes breaking down other proteins into smaller and smaller chunks. Savinase does this by hydrolysing the peptide bonds that bind the aminoacids of proteins together. It does this by using a catalytic triade, where three aminoacids form a charge relay to make a powerful nucleophilic attack on peptide bonds.
In savinase, aspartate32 is hydrogen
