Usage and Biology

Bacteria with IMP-type enzymes have spread through out the world, and the IMP group now has more than 50 variants These enzymes possess a broad substrate specificity and a high affinity for cephalosporins and carbapenems but a low activity toward temocillin

Molecular cloning

First, we used the vector pGEX-6p-1 to construct our expression plasmid. And then we converted the plasmid constructed to E. coli DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.

After verification, it was determined that the construction is successful. We converted the plasmid to E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression and purification.
