Covalent docking and molecular dynamics simulations reveal the specificity-shifting mutations Ala237Arg and Ala237Lys in TEM beta-lactamase.

The rate of modern drug discovery using experimental screening methods still lags behind the rate at which pathogens mutate, underscoring the need for fast and accurate predictive simulations of protein evolution. Multidrug-resistant bacteria evade our defenses by expressing a series of proteins, th...
