Question
Chapter 19, Problem 20E
Summary Introduction
To predict: The effect of an uncoupler such as dinitrophenol on production of NADPH in a chloroplast.
Concept introduction:
An uncoupler called dinitrophenol (DNP) has the ability to separate the electrons flow and the pumping of H+ ions for the synthesis of ATP. This means that the energy acquired from the electron transfer cannot be utilized for the ATP production.

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?
