Abstract excerpt
IMP-type enzymes constitute a clinically important family of metallo-β-lactamases that has grown dramatically in the past decade to its current 45 known members. Here, we report the biochemical characterization of IMP-30 in comparison to IMP-1, from which it deviates by a single E59K mutation. Kinetics, MIC assays, docking, and molecular dynamics simulations support a scenario in which Lys59 interacts with the...
