Question 11. . The cleavage specificity of trypsin and chymotrypsin depend in part on the
  1.    proximity of Ser 195 to the active site or specificity pocket
  2.    size, shape, and charge of the active site or specificity pocket
  3.    presence of a low-barrier hydrogen bond in the active site or specificity pocket
  4.    absence of water in the active site
