Abstract excerpt
The increase in the resistance of mutant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to the antibiotic ceftriaxone is pronounced in the decrease in the second-order acylation rate constant, k2/KS, by penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2). These changes can be caused by both the decrease in the acylation rate constant, k2, and the weakening of the binding affinity, i.e., an increase in the substrate constant, KS. A501X...
