Question
Chapter 12, Problem 4E
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The half-life in years for the reaction 2 X à Y.
Concept introduction: Half-life period is defined as the time required for a substance to reduce to half of its initial concentration. Half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reaction. The reactions where there are two molecules of reactant are called as second-order reactions and are also called as bimolecular reactions.

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?
