Abstract excerpt
Residue 104 is frequently mutated from a glutamic acid to a lysine in the extended-spectrum TEM beta-lactamases responsible for the resistance to third-generation cephalosporins in clinical Gram negative strains. Among class A beta-lactamases, it is the most variable residue within a highly conserved loop which delineates one side of the active site of the enzymes. To investigate the role of this residue in the...
