Abstract excerpt
Molecular models for the Henry Michaelis complexes of Enterobacter cloacae, a class C beta-lactamase, with penicillin G and cephalotin have been constructed by using molecular mechanic calculations, based on the AMBER force field, to examine the molecular differentiation mechanisms between cephalosporins and penicillins in beta-lactamases. Ser318Ala and Thr316Ala mutations in both complexes and Asn346Ala and...
