Abstract excerpt
Toho-1, which is also designated CTX-M-44, is an extended-spectrum class A β-lactamase that has high activity toward cefotaxime. In this study, we investigated the roles of residues suggested to be critical for the substrate specificity expansion of Toho-1 in previous structural analyses. Six amino acid residues were replaced one by one with amino acids that are often observed in the corresponding position of...
