General description
β-Lactamase (β-lactamase, βL, EC 3.5.2.6) is an enzyme first identified in Escherichia coli and has been described as penicillinase. A number of βLs have since been identified from various bacteria. β-Lactamases specifically hydrolyze β-lactam rings present in antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporins, monobactam, and carbapenem, and confer resistance against these antibiotics.
Application
Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor Screening Kit has been used in enzymatic assays.
Features and Benefits
Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
Suitability
Suitable for the screening of inhibitors of β-Lactamase
Principle
The β-Lactamase Inhibitor Screening Kit is a rapid, simple and sensitive assay that is suitable for high throughput screening of β-Lactamase inhibitors. βL activity is measured by hydrolyzing a chromogenic cephalosporin called nitrocefin, producing a colorimetric product (A490), proportional to the enzymatic activity present.

Evaluation of 1, 4, 7-Triazacyclononane (TACN) as a potential Metallo-B-Lactamase inhibitor in Enterobacteriaceae: Restoring the Activity of B-lactams

Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are of grave clinical concern, particularly as there are no metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors approved for clinical use. The discovery and development of MBL inhibitors to restore the efficacy of available β-lactams are thus imperative. We investigated a zinc-chelating
