Function

BLAS1_SERMA Class A beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, some cephalosporins and carbapenems, to JM109 strain E.coli (PubMed:11807251, PubMed:8092824). Acts via hydrolysis of the beta-lactam ring (PubMed:11036019, PubMed:8092824). Has penicillin-, cephalosporin- and carbapenem-hydrolyzing activities (PubMed:11036019).^[1] ^[2] ^[3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Bicyclic boronic acids inhibit SME-1 carbapenemase via a unique pi-pi stacking with His105 and covalent interaction with Ser70. Ledaborbactam shows the strongest inhibition, with the lowest k(i) and enhanced structural stability. X-ray crystallography and molecular dynamics reveal key features helpful in structure-based optimization of boronates targeting class A beta-lactamases.
