The structure and function of Class A Beta lactamases.

Dr Sowmya Rajaram

Abstract :

 Class A betalactamases were responsible for most of the infections in the early part of 21st century. Hence, they are the main focus in research. Our aim was to look for conserved residues in Class A betalactamases. 70 sequences were accessed from Swiss prot and subjected to multiple sequence alignment using Clustal X 2.1. Nine segments were found to be conserved. These conserved segments included the catalytic sites which were four in number. The other conserved residues may have important functions other than catalysis.
