Inside of the gram positive or gram negative bacteria, there is a protein called the penicillin binding protein. The penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) are what help the peptidoglycan walls to form by linking NAG and NAM chains together. The beta-lactam ring fits particularly well into the PBP, which is how antibiotics like penicillin prevent bacteria from synthesizing its cell wall.

Disease

If there are mutations in the tRNase Z metallo-beta lactamases, these enzymes have been implicated in several diseases including prostate cancer [16]. While there is still much to learn about how these lactamases work inter-connectedly with other enzymes, research suggests that metallo-beta lactamases function as cleavage and polyadenylation factors [17].


Evolutionary Considerations

Beta Lactamase protein structure is highly conserved across both prokaryotes and eukaryotes [18]. Their presence indicates that these proteins are highly adaptable, with a wide range of substrates [19]. The highly conserved nature of this structure suggests that the genetic material for beta lactamase is ancient in origin [20]. They have found early beta lactamases in deep sea sediment, before the first antibiotic was ever encountered.
