Abstract excerpt
Bacterial resistance to beta-lactams is mainly due to the production of beta-lactamase. Especially through the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), bacteria have acquired resistance not only to penicillins, but also to expanded-spectrum cephems. Here, we describe the crystal structure of the E166A mutant of class A beta-lactamase Toho-1 at 1.8 A resolution, the first reported tertiary...
