| Research Abstract |
Carbapenems are one of the most important antibiotics and are used worldwide as "Last Resort". We studied four subjects, which are the inhibition mechanisms of carbapenems to beta-lactamases on the basis of Xray crystallography, as listed below. (1) Carbapenems inhibition mechanism for class C beta-lactamases. (2) Crystal structures of the PenA beta-lactamases from Burkholderia cepacia(PenI) and Burkholderia pseudomallei(PenA). (3) Crystal structure of PenA carbapenemase-avibactam complex. (4) Inhibitor screening of class B beta-lactamases.
We are showing the overview of the research with crystal structures.
