MCR (mobile colistin resistance) enzymes catalyse phosphoethanolamine (PEA) addition to bacterial lipid A, threatening the "last-resort"antibiotic colistin. Molecular dynamics and density functional theory simulations indicate that monozinc MCR supports PEA transfer to the Thr285 acceptor, positioning MCR as a mono-rather than multinuclear member of the alkaline phosphatase superfamily.Mahidol UniversityChemical EngineeringChemistryMaterials ScienceResistance to the "last resort" antibiotic colistin: A single-zinc mechanism for phosphointermediate formation in MCR enzymesArticleSCOPUS10.1039/d0cc02520h
