What amino acids can be found in chymotrypsin’s specificity pocket? What would happen if one of those amino acids was changed to lysine? In relation to the amino acid in the specificity pocket, which peptide bond is cleaved; C terminal or N terminal? What is this bond’s proximity to the serine in the active site?

A mutation that changes an alanine residue in the interior of a protein to valine is found to lead to a loss of activity. However, activity is regained when a second mutation at a different position changes an isoleucine residue to glycine. How might this second mutation lead to a restoration of activity?
What is the first thing that must occur in order for the catalysis of the peptide bond to begin. What is a specificity pocket? What are the preferences of chymotrypsin due to its specificity pocket?
