One member of a class of molecules named for this residue has a neutrophil form that breaks down the outer coat of Gram-negative bacteria. The transport of another member of that class named for this residue is deficient in cystic fibrosis, leading to myconium ileus; those members are elastase and trypsin. This residue donates a proton to a histidine residue, which accepts a hydrogen bond from aspartic acid, allowing its hydroxyl group to act as a nucleophile in the "catalytic triad" characteristic of a family of proteases named for this residue. For 10 points, name this amino acid with a hydroxy-methyl sidechain.
