Abstract
Background: Antibiotic resistance from extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) makes infections more dangerous and difficult to treat. Results: Neutron and x-ray crystal structures were determined for an ESBL in complex with an acylation transition state analog. Conclusion: Glu-166 is implicated as the general base in the acylation reaction. Significance: Understanding the catalytic mechanism of β-lactamases will lead to improved antibiotics and β-lactamase inhibitors.
