molecules with novel skeletons, but also to identify the enzymes that catalyze diverse chemical reactions. Exploring the substrate promiscuity and catalytic mechanism of those biosynthetic enzymes facilitates the development of potential biocatalysts. SfaB is an acyladenylate‐forming enzyme that adenylates a unique building block, 3‐isocyanobutanoic acid, in the biosynthetic pathway of the diisonitrile

There are currently no clinically available inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). These enzymes confer resistance to bacteria against a broad range of commonly used β-lactam antibiotics, and are produced by an increasing number of bacterial pathogens. In this study, several thiol derivatives of l-amino acids were designed and synthesized, and their inhibitory effects against the metallo-β-lactamase
