Solution

Serine protease have a catalytic triad consisting of histidine, serine and aspartic acid, whereas aspartic proteases have aspartic acid residues in its active site.
In serine protease there is a covalent intermediate whereas aspartic protease utilize direct nucleophilic attack by water.
A similarity between both mechanisms is that they go through a tetrahedral intermediate.
