An active site loop toggles between conformations to control antibiotic hydrolysis and inhibition potency for CTX-M β-lactamase drug-resistance enzymes
β-lactamases are a source of antibiotic resistance. Here, the authors show that an active site loop in β-lactamase toggles between conformations that control antibiotic hydrolysis and inhibitor susceptibility, highlighting the role of active site conformations in enzyme activity and inhibition.
