6-(Methoxymethylene)penicillanic acid: inactivator of RTEM beta-lactamase from Escherichia coli.

abstract：:The classical complement pathway, which plays a vital role in preventing infection, is initiated by the action of the serine proteases C1r and C1s. We have examined the hydrolysis of substrates representing cleavage sequences in the physiological substrates for C1s, C2 and C4. These studies showed that the P(1)'-P(4)'...
