Electric fields determine carbapenemase activity in class A β-lactamases
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance is a public health crisis. Limited understanding of the catalytic drivers in resistance-mediating enzymes such as β-lactamases hinders our ability to combat this crisis. Here, we dissect the catalytic contributions of active-site electric fields in class A β-lactamases. We studied the enzymatic hydrolysis of a carbapenem antibiotic by QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations and quantified active-site fields with a custom-made script. We discovered that the fields correlate well with activity and identified seven positions, some distal, that distinguish efficient carbapenemases. Electric-field analysis may help predict the activity of β-lactamases and guide antibiotic and enzyme design.Abstract Figure <jats:fig id="ufig1" position="float" fig-type="figure" orientation="portrait"><jats:graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="565607v1_ufig1" position="float" orientation="portrait" /></jats:fig>Electric field script:<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.github.com/bunzela/FieldTools">www.github.com/bunzela/FieldTools</jats:ext-link>.
