Structural and functional characterization of multi drug resistant β-lactamase enzymes, through enzyme kinetics assays and protein crystallography. Substrate/inhibitor binding affinity and active site composition/orientation are studied in an attempt to better understand the relationships between structure and function of β-lactamases.Ultimately, a better understanding of structural and functional relationships may aid in the development of inhibitors for these drug resistant… Show more Structural and functional characterization of multi drug resistant β-lactamase enzymes, through enzyme kinetics assays and protein crystallography.
