Figure 1. Ribbon diagram of crystallographic structure of CMY-10 (a cESBL).
The image was rendered with PyMOL, available on the Internet (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pymol). The R2-loop is represented as red, while the Ω-loop, H-2 helix, and H-11 helix are depicted in violet, blue, and cyan, respectively. The R1 active site (central upper region) is surrounded by the Ω-loop and the R2 active site (central lower region) by the R2-loop and H-11 helix. The nucleophile (Ser65), attacking the carbonyl carbon of β-lactam ring, is present in the H-2 helix.
