Reversible inactivation of a peptidoglycan transpeptidase by a β-lactam antibiotic mediated by β-lactam-ring recyclization in the enzyme active site
Abstract β-lactam antibiotics act as suicide substrates of transpeptidases responsible for the last cross-linking step of peptidoglycan synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. Nucleophilic attack of the β-lactam carbonyl by the catalytic residue (Ser or Cys) of transpeptidases results in the opening o...
