This past year has produced determinations of X-ray crystal structures for three metallo-beta-lactamases and the elucidation of the catalytic mechanisms for a monozinc and a dizinc enzyme. These advances shed light on how such a diverse group of enzymes are evolving to inactivate so efficiently a broad spectrum of beta-lactam antibiotics.
在过去的一年里,已确定了三种金属β-内酰胺酶的X射线晶体结构,并阐明了一种单锌酶和一种双锌酶的催化机制。这些进展揭示了如此多样的一组酶是如何进化以如此有效地使广谱β-内酰胺抗生素失活的。
