Structural and kinetic studies on beta-lactamase mechanism and inhibition

Abstract:

Beta-lactamases constitute one of the most prevalent identified mechanisms of bacterial resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics. These enzymes are broadly divided into two mechanistic subclasses, the serine-beta-lactamases and the metallo-beta-lactamases. The metallo-beta-lactamases constitute an important subclass of beta-lactamases on account of their ability to hydrolyse almost all classes of beta-lactam, in particular the carbapenems, which are considered to be beta-lactams of last r...
