Product Information
Name:SPM-1 (β-Lactamase)
Brand:Biosynth
Description:SPM-1 (β-Lactamase) is a metallo-β-lactamase enzyme, which is derived from certain Gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This enzyme is characterized by its ability to hydrolyze a broad spectrum of β-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems, due to the presence of a zinc ion in its active site. The zinc ion plays a crucial role in the catalytic mechanism by facilitating the cleavage of the β-lactam ring, rendering the antibiotic ineffective against bacterial cell wall synthesis.
The primary application of studying SPM-1 is in understanding its role in antibiotic resistance, a significant concern in clinical microbiology and infectious disease research. Researchers investigate the structure and function of SPM-1 to develop inhibitors that can restore the efficacy of β-lactam antibiotics against resistant strains. Additionally, insights from this enzyme can be utilized in the development of novel therapeutic strategies and diagnostic tools to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. Studying SPM-1 also contributes to the broader understanding of resistance mechanisms, which is critical in the ongoing effort to address the global challenge of antibiotic resistance.
