beta-Lactamase I catalyses the hydrolysis of penicillins by an acyl-enzyme mechanism. A procedure was developed for determining the rate constants for the acylation and deacylation steps for the good substrates benzylpenicillin and phenoxymethylpenicillin; this depends on determining the fraction of enzyme that is present as acyl-enzyme in the steady state.

ABSTRACTThe analysis of the genome sequence of Yersinia mollaretii (Y. mollaretii) ATCC 43969 indicates the presence of the blaYEM gene coding for YEM-1, a putative subclass B2 metallo-β-lactamase. The objectives of our work were to produce, purify and complete the kinetic characterization of YEM-1. Compared to the known subclass B2 metallo–β-lactamases, YEM-1 displayed a narrowest substrate profile since it is only able to hydrolyse imipenem with a high catalytic efficiency but not all the other carbapenems tested such as biapenem, meropenem, doripenem and ertapenem. A possible explanation of this peculiar activity profile is the presence of tyrosine 67 (loop L1), threonine 156 (loop L2) and serine 236 (loop L3) respectively. We showed that the substitution of Y67 broadened the activity profile of the enzyme for all carbapenems but still displayed a poor activity toward the other β-lactam classes.

Catalytic parameters of butyrylcholinesterase and its mutants against cocaethylene have been characterized in comparison with those against cocaine, indicating that the mutants can efficiently metabolize cocaethylene, in addition to cocaine. Further in vivo tests and kinetic modelling support the indication.
