Background: BLIP-II is a potent inhibitor of class A -lactamases. Results: BLIP-II residues contributing to binding are near the center of interface and influence off rates for inhibition. Conclusion: BLIP-II uses common core residues to bind to several class A -lactamases. Significance: BLIP-II -lactamase interaction domains could lead to -lactamase inhibitors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
