Usage and Biology
NDM-23 is a type of subclass B metal beta-lactamases, which is derived from NDM-1 mutation. The beta lactamases of the NDM family can hydrolyze almost all available beta lactam antibiotics (except aztreonam) clinically, including the broad-spectrum antibiotic carbapenems. Because of the extensive substrate profile of this enzyme, the clinical strains carrying it become a great threat to human life and health.

Expression and purification
Pre-expression:
The bacteria were cultured in 5mL LB liquid medium with ampicillin(100 μg/mL final concentration) in 37℃ overnight.
Massive expressing:
After taking samples, we transfer them into 1L LB medium and add antibiotic to 100 μg/mL final concentration. Grow them up in 37°C shaking incubator. Grow until an OD 600 nm of 0.8 to 1.2 (roughly 3-4 hours). Induce the culture to express protein by adding 0.3 mM IPTG (isopropylthiogalactoside, MW 238 g/mol) or ~0.1 gram per 1.5 liter flask. Put the liter flasks in 16°C shaking incubator for 16h. Centrifuge your bacteria in 500 mL bottles in the 4°C rotor at 4,000 RPM for 20 mins. Do this in batches until all your culture is spun down saving the cell pastes each time.
