Abstract excerpt
β-lactamase enzymes inactivate β-lactam antibiotics, leading to drug resistance. The β-lactamase inhibitory protein (BLIP) is a naturally occurring inhibitor of β-lactamases, with inhibition constants (Ki) ranging from picomolar to micromolar values. For example, BLIP inhibits CTX-M-14 β-lactamase with a Ki of 330 nM, whereas the Ki for CTX-M-15 is 3 nM, despite CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-15 sharing 83% sequence...
