The structure of a '' Streptomyces '' β lactamase is given by . PENICILLINASE Penicillinase is a particular type of β lactamase, showing specificity for Penicillin s again by Hydrolysing the Beta-lactam ring. Molecular weights of the various penicillinases tend to cluster near 50,000. Penicillinase was the first β lactamase to emerge, due to the early dependence on penicillin. Penicillinase resistant β lactams were then developed such as Methicillin , although there is widespread Resistance to these now also (see MRSA ). REFERENCE
