Type:  Conserved_site Name:  Beta-lactamase, class-B, conserved site
Description:  Synonym(s): Penicillinase, Cephalosporinase Beta-lactamases () are enzymes which catalyse the hydrolysis of an amide bond in the beta-lactam ring of antibiotics belonging to the penicillin/cephalosporin family. The class B enzymes are zinc containing proteins whilst class A, C and D enzymes are serine hydrolases.Class B beta-lactamases have been described in several Gram-negative bacterial species; they seem to share the characteristic of being able to hydrolyse carbapenem compounds, new beta-lactam antibiotics of greattherapeutic potential.The conserved regions in the sequence of known class B beta-lactamases are centred on residues known to be involved in binding the zinc ion essentialfor the enzymes catalytic activity [, ]. Short Name:  Beta-lactamase_class-B_CS
