What is Stability-Function Tradeoffs in Antibiotic Resistance about?

The study investigates the stability-function tradeoffs in antibiotic resistance, specifically focusing on extended-spectrum mutants of class C β-lactamases. These mutants exhibited significant increases in activity against cefotaxime, but at the cost of thermodynamic stability, supporting the stability-function hypothesis. Structural analyses revealed distinct mechanisms of action and how substitutions distant from the active site can influence catalytic activity, highlighting constraints on the evolution
