The mechanism of triacylglycerol lipase:
Asp ❌. His can then ❌ to increase its nucleophilicity. Then Ser is able to launch a nucleophilic attack on the ❌ (the glycerol backbone). This forms a ❌, which is stabilised by ❌ (with residues ❌). The negative charge collapses as ❌ and the carbonyl reforms, releasing the first product, ❌.
His then abstracts a proton from a molecule of water, forming a reactive ❌. ❌ can than attack the ❌, forming another intermediate, which is stabilised in an oxyanion hole. The negative charge collapses when ❌, reforming the catalytic Ser and allowing release of a 2nd product, ❌.
