Synthesis and Hydrolysis of Cephalexin

Investigated was the synthesis and hydrolysis of cephalexin, and the hydrolysis of phenylglycine methyl ester by an amino ester hydrolase. The concentrations of all reactants over time were measured, for four different initial concentrations of cephalexin and phenylglycine methyl ester. For each of the reactants, 9 data points are given over a time of 30 minutes.
