There is an old post from 2014 that talks about Chymotrypsin not being covered in depth on the MCAT, but that was before they issued the new MCAT. Is this topic important to know? For instance, TBR states "The details of this mechanism have appeared on the MCAT before. Those who took the exam then needed only a basic understanding of enzymatic mechanisms to do well. Keep track of your electrons!" Is this true? Do I just need to understand that this mechanism cleaves peptide bonds and is considered a serine protease? TBR designates 4 pages to this mechanism and I don't want to rush through it, but I also don't want to spend considerable time committing it to memory. Thanks
