Abstract excerpt
The mutant 554 of TEM-2 beta-lactamase was selected for a decrease in the resistance to carbenicillin of an Escherichia coli K12 carrier. The amino acid sequence of the mutant beta-lactamase was determined by manual Edman degradation analysis of proteolytic peptides. A single substitution Val for Ala was localized at position 237. The mutant exhibited only 2% of the catalytic efficiency of the wild-type enzyme...
