Some amino acids are post-translationally removed from the C-terminal end of the beta-lactamase enzyme from B. imaginarium (i.e. - after it is translated and released from the ribosome, a protease chews off a some amino acids). The wild-type enzyme, which has had the amino acids removed from the C’-terminus, is 246 amino acids in length and the C-terminal amino acids are shown below aligned with the C-terminal amino acids of a frameshift mutant, which – due to a frameshift mutation -...
