(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The empirical and molecular formula of X.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chains and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The possible structures of X that fit the molecular formula and contain one double bond.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chain and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The structural significance of the observed optical activity and the structures in subpart (b) that are consistent with observation.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chain and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The structural significance of the observation that a solution of X was acidic and the structures in subpart (b) that are consistent with the observation.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chain and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

The beta-lactamase hydrolyzes the lactam-ring in penicillin. Describe the mechanism  of hydrolysis, insuring to include the involvement of S, D, & K in the reaction sequence. Please help
To map the active site of beta-lactamase, the enzyme was hydrolyzed with trypsin to yield a hexapeptide (P1) with the following amino acids. Glu, Lys, Leu, Phe, Met, and Ser. Treatment of P1 with phenyl isothiocyanate yielded a PTH derivative of phenylalanine and a peptide (P2). Treatment of P1 with cyanogenbromide gave an acidic tetrapeptide (P3) and a dipeptide (P4).Treatment of P2 with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, followed by complete hydrolysis, yields N-2,4-dinitrophenyl-Glu. P1, P2, and P3 contain the active site serine. Why doesn't D in this hexapeptide not participate in the hydrolysis of the beta-lactam ring even though S, K, and D are involved in the catalyst?
