Exploring Protein Sequence Space Using Computationally Directed Recombination [PDF]
Evolution has provided us with many protein sequences. However, these sequences represent a very small fraction of the possible sequences. In the laboratory, scientists have explored areas of sequence space not represented by natural proteins both to ...

The Mechanisms of Catalysis by Metallo β-Lactamases [PDF]
Class B β-lactamases or metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) require zinc ions to catalyse the hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and cephamycins.

Prevalence of multiresistant gram-negative organisms in a tertiary hospital in Mwanza, Tanzania. [PDF]
\ud Antimicrobial resistance is fast becoming a global concern with rapid increases in multidrug-resistant Gram negative organisms. The prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing clinical isolates increases the burden on implementing

Repression of Virulence in Staphylococcus aureus by 2‐Aminothiol‐Mediated Quorum Quenching
Simple analogues of cysteine that can eliminate the native autoinducing peptides (AIPs) of staphylococci extracellularly, before they activate their receptor, and turn off quorum sensing in different Staphylococcus aureus. The elimination of AIPs occurs through a mechanism similar to native chemical ligation (NCL). Further, this strategy showed promise

An Overview of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases and Metallo Beta Lactamases
Antibiotic resistant β-lactamases are diverse and complex enzymes produced by most of the Gram-negative bacteria that are mediated by number of plasmids. The impact of these enzymes has posed a major threat to the health sectors and has challenged the available treatment options for both community and hospital acquired infections.
