The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (<scene name='37/372730/Asymmetrical_4eyl/2'>NMD-1</scene>) in complex with meropenem demonstrates the mechanism in which the active site binds and hydrolyzed the a carbapenem, in this case meropenem. | The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (<scene name='37/372730/Asymmetrical_4eyl/2'>NMD-1</scene>) in complex with meropenem demonstrates the mechanism in which the active site binds and hydrolyzed the a carbapenem, in this case meropenem. | ||
Zn1 (coordinated by three histidine residues), acts as a major constituent of oxyanion hole to stabilize tetrahedral intermediate. It also acts as a Lewis acid for interaction with lactam carbonyl in Michaelis complex and acts to suppress the pKa of the hyrdolytic water to (~5-6) to facilitate it's nucleophilic role. | Zn1 (coordinated by three histidine residues), acts as a major constituent of oxyanion hole to stabilize tetrahedral intermediate.
