The concentration of NaCl in protein sample once dialysis has come to equilibrium assuming that no volume change occurs in the sample during dialysis. Introduction: Dialysis is the process used to separate the protein molecules from small solutes. The separation takes place because of the larger size of the protein. The partly purified protein extract is placed in a tube composed of a semi permeable membrane. Dialysis mainly retains the larger protein molecules within the membranous tube. It allows the other solute concentrations in protein separation to change until they come into equilibrium with the solution at the outer membrane.

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?
