The amino-acid sequence of the Toho-1 β-lactamase contains several conserved residues in the active site, including Ser70, Lys73, Ser130 and Glu166, some of which coordinate a catalytic water molecule. This catalytic water molecule is essential in the acylation and deacylation parts of the reaction mechanism through which Toho-1 inactivates specific antibiotics and provides resistance to its expressing bacterial strains ...
