Inhibition of TEM-2 beta-lactamase from Escherichia coli by clavulanic acid: observation of intermediates by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
Clavulanic acid, the therapeutically important inhibitor of beta-lactamases containing a nucleophilic serine residue at their active sites, inhibits Escherichia coli TEM-2 beta-lactamase via a complex mechanism. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) studies revealed that a minimum of fou...
