Penicillin binding protein/lactivicin (inhibitor) (2jch)[1]
by Tyler Carpenter, Samuel Pierce, Hyunjoon Choi, Anton El Khoury and Tiankai Zhang
Student Projects for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2016
Introduction
|
Outline:
1) Why is it important? Penicillin-binding proteins are essential for cell wall biogenesis. General info about bacterial cell wall biogenesis. Also, how bacteria mutate in order to avoid binding to beta-lactam.
2) Ligands, in particular . Also, how PBP binds lactivicin.
Sample green scene: Penicillin-binding protein has four ligands, one of which is
=Overall Structure
The secondary structures of PBP have certain affects on ligands Ligand has oxyanion hole to further binding potential. How does this help?

Additional Features
1)role in antibiotics and resistance the role of PBPs in its synthesis is a very good target for drugs of selective toxicity
2)different PBPs and how they are classified into diverse categories found as both membrane-bound and cytoplasmic proteins
3)work as enzyme to catalyze synthesis of peptidoglycan
|
Quiz Question 1
Question related to PBP evolution and developing resistance to ß-lactams, likely related to active site mutations.
Shows the from most conserved to most variable.
