To explore these questions, we determined the X-ray crystal structures of several representative β-lactams in their acyl−adduct complexes with the group I β-lactamase AmpC. A complex with the ...

The β-lactamases are grouped into classes A-D based on their amino acid sequence homology and enzyme mechanisms. Class A, C, and D β-lactamases are serine β-lactamases (SβLs) that inactivate β-lactam ...

A successful collaboration involving a trio of research institutions has yielded a roadmap toward an economically viable process for using enzymes to recycle plastics.

The serine proteinase plasmin is the key fibrinolytic enzyme that dissolves blood clots and also promotes cell migration and tissue remodeling. Here, we report the 2.65 Å crystal structure of a ...

The molecules that form the foundation of life on Earth are as diverse as they are complex. Among these, carbohydrates play a ...

The solution to this challenge was provided by Alltech, courtesy of its ‘Digest P3’ enzyme complex. The company’s Adam Smyth was a recent visitor to the Lockharts’ AD operation.

Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains harbouring R-plasmids and AmpC beta-lactamases isolated from hospitalised burn patients in a tertiary care hospital of North India. FEMS Microbiol ...

The cysteine protease from the tobacco etch virus (TEVp) is a well-known and widely utilized enzyme. TEVp’s chymotrypsin-like fold is generally associated with serine catalytic triads that differ in ...
