Abstract excerpt
Three mutants of the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase TEM-60, the P51L, K104E, and S164R mutants, were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. The kinetic parameters of the mutated enzymes and interactions of inhibitors were significantly different from those of TEM-60, revealing that the L51P mutation plays an important role in enzyme activity and stability in the TEM-60 background.
