Activity-Related Conformational Changes in d,d-Carboxypeptidases Revealed by In Vivo Periplasmic Forster Resonance Energy Transfer Assay in Escherichia coli
One of the mechanisms of β-lactam antibiotic resistance requires the activity of d,d-carboxypeptidases (d,d-CPases) involved in peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis, making them putative targets for new antibiotic development. The activity of PG-synthesizing enzymes is often correlated with their associatio...
