$\beta$-Lactamases hydrolyze $\beta$-lactam antibiotics using two distinct mechanisms: those having a metallo-based mechanism of action and those with

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text mentions two distinct mechanisms of action for F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-lactamase enzymes: metallo-based and serine-based. Therefore, the correct answer is B, "a serine-based mechanism of action." Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they are not mentioned in the text as mechanisms of action for F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-lactamase enzymes.
