| Comments |
Forms part of the pathway for the biosythesis of the ¦Â-lactamase inhibitor clavulanate in?Streptomyces clavuligerus. It has been proposed [3] that?L-N2-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine is first converted into an acyl-AMP by reaction with ATP and loss of diphosphate, and that the ¦Â-lactam ring is then formed by the intramolecular attack of the ¦Â-nitrogen on the activated carboxy group. |
