Abstract excerpt
Metallo-beta-lactamases can hydrolyze a broad spectrum of beta-lactam antibiotics and thus confer resistance to bacteria. For the Pseudomonas aeruginosa enzyme IMP-1, several variants have been reported. IMP-6 and IMP-1 differ by a single residue (glycine and serine at position 196, respectively), but have significantly different substrate spectra; while the catalytic efficiency toward the two cephalosporins...
