Question
Chapter 13, Problem 43RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for using an indirect method for sequencing proteins even when direct methods for protein sequencing are available is to be discussed.
Concept introduction:
Polymerase chain reaction or PCR is the process that is used to make multiple copies of DNA. It helps in DNA fingerprinting.
DNA fingerprinting is useful in the sequencing of DNA.
DNA fingerprinting can be done by using the Sanger method.

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?

P1, P2, and P3 contain the active site serine.
Using the experimental results described above derive the primary sequence of the active site hexapeptide. Please help!
