Abstract excerpt
Metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) represent one of the main mechanisms of bacterial resistance against β-lactam antibiotics. The elucidation of their mechanism has been limited mostly by the structural diversity among their active sites. All MβLs structurally characterized so far present a Cys or a Ser residue at position 221, which is critical for catalysis. GOB lactamases stand as an exception within this picture,...
