A general reaction mechanism for carbapenem hydrolysis by mononuclear and binuclear metallo-β-lactamases
11 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae threaten human health, since carbapenems are last resort drugs for infections by such organisms. Metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) are the main mechanism of resistance against carbapenems. Clinically approved inhibitors of MBLs are currently unavailable as design has been limited by the incomplete knowledge of their mechanism. Here, we report a biochemical and biophysical study...
