FunctionBLT1_ECOLX Has strong cefotaxime-hydrolyzing activity. Publication Abstract from PubMedRoom temperature neutron diffraction data of the fully perdeuterated Toho-1 R274N/R276N double mutant beta-lactamase in the apo form were used to visualize deuterium atoms within the active site of the enzyme. This perdeuterated neutron structure of the Toho-1 R274N/R276N reveals the clearest picture yet of the ground-state active site protonation states and the complete hydrogen-bonding network in a beta-lactamase enzyme. The ground-state active site protonation states detailed in this neutron diffraction study are consistent with previous high-resolution X-ray studies that support the role of Glu166 as the general base during the acylation reaction in the class A beta-lactamase reaction pathway. The active site protonation states of perdeuterated Toho-1 beta-lactamase determined by neutron diffraction support a role for Glu166 as the general base in acylation.,Tomanicek SJ, Wang KK, Weiss KL, Blakeley MP, Cooper J, Chen Y, Coates L FEBS Lett. 2010 Dec 17.
