Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a critical global health challenge, largely driven by metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-mediated hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics, which remain the cornerstone of modern antimicrobial therapy. IMP-1, an MBL first identified in Japan, exhibits potent carbapenemase activity and currently lacks effective clinical inhibitors. To explore how distal mutations modulate catalytic...
