Deskripsi

β-lactamases are a source of antibiotic resistance. Here, the authors show that an active site loop in β-lactamase toggles between conformations that control antibiotic hydrolysis and inhibitor susceptibility, highlighting the role of active site conformations in enzyme activity and inhibition.
