Abstract excerpt
The crystal structure of the metallo-beta-lactamase CcrA3 indicates that the active site of this enzyme contains a binuclear zinc center. To aid in assessing the involvement of specific residues in beta-lactam hydrolysis and susceptibility to inhibitors, individual substitutions of selected amino acids were generated. Substitution of the zinc-ligating residue Cys181 with Ser (C181S) resulted in a significant...
