Chimeric β-lactamases: global conservation of parental function and fast time-scale dynamics with increased slow motions.

Enzyme engineering has been facilitated by recombination of close homologues, followed by functional screening. In one such effort, chimeras of two class-A β-lactamases - TEM-1 and PSE-4 - were created according to structure-guided protein recombination and selected for their capacity to promote bac...
