Abstract excerpt
RG13 is an engineered allosteric beta-lactamase (BLA) for which maltose is a positive effector. RG13 is a hybrid protein between TEM1 BLA and maltose-binding protein (MBP). Maltose binding to MBP is known to convert the open form of the protein to the closed form through conformational changes about the hinge region. We have constructed and genetically selected several variants of RG13 modified in the hinge...
