What is NDM-1 β-Lactamase: Carbapenem vs. Penicillin Hydrolysis about?

The study investigates the catalytic efficiency and active site requirements of NDM-1 β-lactamase for hydrolyzing different classes of β-lactam antibiotics, specifically carbapenems versus penicillins and cephalosporins. It finds that while a common core of residues is involved in the hydrolysis of all substrates, carbapenem hydrolysis necessitates additional specific residues, indicating stricter sequence requirements. This highlights the complexity of antibiotic resistance mechanisms and the need for targ
