Abstract

A standard numbering scheme has been proposed for class C β-lactamases. This will significantly enhance comparison of biochemical and biophysical studies performed on different members of this class of enzymes and facilitate communication in the field.

Keywords: beta-lactamases.

  • Amino Acid Sequence
  • Protein Conformation
  • beta-Lactamases / chemistry*
  • beta-Lactamases / genetics
  • beta-Lactamases / metabolism*
