Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
The possible products containing only one bromine has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Free radical stability: As the number of carbon substituents increases, the stability of the free radical increases.
Selectivity determining step: The selectivity determining step is the breakage of the
b)
Interpretation:
The possible products containing two bromines that are not on the same carbon has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Free radical stability: As the number of carbon substituents increases, the stability of the free radical increases.
Selectivity determining step: The selectivity determining step is the breakage of the

- 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?arrow_forwardTo map the active site of -lactamase, the enzyme was hydrolyzed with trypsin to yield a hexapeptide (P1) with the following amino acids.
