Description
Summary:Our structural understanding of class A penicillin binding proteins is incomplete due to the difficulty in their crystallization and the complexity of their substrates. Here, authors determine the structure of the 83 kDa class A PBP from Escherichia coli, PBP1b, using cryogenic electron microscopy and a styrene maleic acid anhydride membrane mimetic.
