Clavulanic acid dehydrogenase: structural and biochemical analysis of the final step in the biosynthesis of the beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid.
The ultimate step in the biosynthesis of the medicinally important beta-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid is catalyzed by clavulanic acid dehydrogenase (CAD). CAD is responsible for the NAPDH-dependent reduction of the unstable intermediate clavulanate-9-aldehyde to yield clavulanic acid. Here, we...
