Research: Β-LACTAMASE Folding Project #18322

Project #18322 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a big problem because they break down common antibiotics. This project studies how AmpC beta-lactamase, an enzyme that causes resistance, works. By understanding this enzyme, scientists hope to develop new drugs that can stop it and make antibiotics effective again.

Source material

Official Project Description

The rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria is a looming public health issue.

This project simulates AmpC β-lactamases found in many cephalosporin resistant bacteria.

This protein mediates resistance to most antibiotics by breaking down the drug.

Because it reduces the types of antibiotics that can be used to treat various infections, physicians have fewer ways to kill bacteria having this resistance protein.

Therefore, to design new antibiotics against these bacteria, we are interested in understanding how AmpC β-lactamase dynamics affects binding of various therapeutics.

This knowledge will help develop drugs that disrupt this enzyme, which will permit the use of broad spectrum antibiotics on these resistant bacteria again.
