متن کاملThe active centres in penicillin-sensitive enzymes.
The interaction between beta-lactam antibiotics and the penicillin-sensitive enzymes is a multiple-step process. Binding of the beta-lactam ring of the penam (or 3-cepham) nucleus occurs at binding site no. 1. Interaction between the N-14 substituent of the bound molecule and binding site no. 2 induces changes in binding site no. 1. In turn, the catalytic site thus created increases the chemica...
متن کاملBacterial Resistance to Penicillin G by Decreased Affinity of Penicillin-Binding Proteins: A Mathematical Model
Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis have very similar mechanisms of resistance to penicillin G. Although penicillin resistance is now common in S. pneumoniae, it is still rare in N. meningitidis. Using a mathematical model, we studied determinants of this difference and attempted to anticipate trends in meningococcal resistance to penicillin G. The model predicted that pneumococ...
متن کاملInteraction of (2,3)-methylenepenams with penicillin-binding proteins.
A series of (2,3)-methylenepenams were examined with respect to binding to essential penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The compounds were also examined with respect to their interaction with Streptomyces strain R61 DD-carboxypeptidase. The alpha isomer of (2,3)-methylene penicillin G bound to PBP 3 of E. coli and other enterobacteria at 0.1 to 10 ...
متن کاملThe formation of functional penicillin-binding proteins.
A method was developed which permitted determination of the [14C]benzylpenicillin and [14C]Cephapirin binding capacity of rapidly growing Bacillus subtilis cells in liquid culture. Over the concentration range of the binding plateau (0.1 to 0.8 mug/ml), [14C]benzylpenicillin significantly inhibited formation of functional penicillin-binding proteins, but had comparatively little effect on total...
