Abstract excerpt
In some inhibitor-resistant TEM-derived beta-lactamases, Met-69 is substituted by Leu, Ile or Val. Residue 69 is located in a region of strong structural constraints, at the beginning of H2 alpha-helix, and in the vicinity of B3 and B4 beta-strands. Analysis of the three-dimensional structure of TEM-1 beta-lactamase suggests that alteration of the substrate-binding site can be produced by changes of the size of...
