Abstract excerpt
The conserved KTG triad in the class C beta-lactamase from Citrobacter freundii GN346 was examined as to its function by means of site-directed mutagenesis. The following conversions were performed; Lys-315 to arginine, alanine or glutamic acid, Thr-316 to valine, and Gly-317 to alanine, proline or isoleucine. The resultant mutant enzymes revealed that a basic amino acid at position 315 and a small uncharged...
