Abstract

In this issue of Structure, Lecoq et al. investigated the structural and dynamic basis for the unexpected inhibition of peptidoglycan-crosslinking l,d-transpeptidases by carbapenem antibiotics. In addition to defining a neutral thiol-imidazole catalytic triad, their studies revealed extensive induced motions upon formation of a long-live covalent drug-enzyme complex.
