The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase () in complex with meropenem () demonstrates the mechanism in which the active site binds and hydrolyzed the a carbapenem, in this case meropenem. Zn1 (coordinated by three histidine residues), acts as a major constituent of oxyanion hole to stabilize tetrahedral intermediate. It also acts as a Lewis acid for interaction with lactam carbonyl in Michaelis complex and acts to suppress the pKa of the hyrdolytic water to (~5-6) to facilitate it's nucleophilic role. The active site contains key features for hydrolyzing carbapenems:

 Zinc ion 1(Zn1) is coordinated by three histidine residues: H120, H122 and H189. 
 Zinc ion 2 () is coordinated by three residues: H250, C208, and D124.
