Abstract excerpt
Antibiotic resistance mediated by constantly evolving beta-lactamases is a serious threat to human health. The mechanism of inhibition of these enzymes by therapeutic beta-lactamase inhibitors is probed using a novel approach involving Raman microscopy and x-ray crystallography. We have presented here the high resolution crystal structures of the beta-lactamase inhibitors sulbactam and clavulanic acid bound to...
