N2 - A homologous series of 20 substituted alcohol‐imidazole‐acetate model complexes imitating the charge relay system in Ser‐His‐Asp catalytic triad of serine proteases is considered quantum‐chemically. We show qualitatively that the geometries of alcohol‐imidazole and imidazole‐acetate short hydrogen bonds are strongly coupled via the central imidazole and such complexes are capable of effectively relaying the charge from acetate to alcohol moiety upon relatively small concerted proton displacements. We hypothesize an alternative catalytic mechanism of serine proteases that does not require two complete proton transfers or hydrogen bond breakage between Ser and His residues.
