Abstract

Bacterial ${\beta}$-lactamases provide resistance to ${\beta}$-lactams by hydrolyzing the ${\beta}$-lactam bond, On the basis of their catalytic mechanisms. ${\beta}$-lactamases are divided into two major groups. Class A. C and D which belong to the first group require serine in the active site and class B which is the second group require Zn(II) for their activity. Among class B enzymes, Bacteroides fragilis ${\beta}$-lactamase (CcrA enzyme) require two Zn(II) ions per monomer for maximal enzymatic activities. (omitted)
