STRUCTURAL STUDIES ON ENZYMES IMPLICATED IN BACTERIAL ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们实验室的一般研究领域包括与抗生素耐药性有关的细菌酶的生物化学、酶学和结构生物学，主要是那些负责β-内酰胺和氨基糖苷类抗生素失活的酶。 在SSRL的束时间的建议集中在收集高分辨率衍射数据的本地和突变的酶，和底物/抑制剂复合物。 在SSRL收集数据的愿望是基于我们对来自许多不同晶体的高质量、高分辨率衍射数据的需求，其中一些晶体具有原子分辨率，特别是在β-内酰胺酶的情况下。 此外，我们现在生产的大多数蛋白质作为硒蛋氨酸衍生物，我们设想一个准确的MAD数据收集的需求增加。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The general area of research in our laboratory involves the biochemistry, enzymology and structural biology of bacterial enzymes implicated in antibiotic resistance, primarily those enzymes responsible for the deactivation of beta-lactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics. This proposal for beam time at SSRL focuses on the collection of high resolution diffraction data on native and mutant enzymes, and substrate/inhibitor complexes. The desire to collect data at SSRL is based upon our need for high quality, high resolution diffraction data from a number of different crystals, some of which diffract to atomic resolution, particularly in the case of the beta-lactamase enzymes. In addition, we are now producing the majority of our proteins as seleno-methionine derivatives, and we envisage an increased requirement for the collection of accurate MAD data.
