Chapter 25, Problem 28E
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason behind the interstrand DNA cross-links being much more mutagenic than the intrastrand cross-links.
Introduction: A process by which a covalent linkage is formed between the two nucleotides of DNA and an agent (endogenous or exogenous) is called the cross-linking of DNA. The cross-links can be interstrand (between the DNA strands) or intrastrand (within a strand). Both the types of cross-linking are considered to be mutagenic. However, the interstrand DNA cross-links are much more mutagenic than the intrastrand cross-links.

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.
a) Using the experimental results described below deduce the primary sequence of the active site hexapeptide.
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?
