PBPs are enzymes that are located in the cell membrane of bacteria and function in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-link cross-linking] to form the [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptidoglycan peptidoglycan] layer. PBPs have a conserved [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprotonation deprotonated] serine which executes [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophile nucleophilic] attack on the [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl carbonyl] carbon. The PBP is then covalently attached to one unit of peptidoglycan. The amino group of an alanine on a second unit of peptidoglycan then performs a second nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon, resulting in two covalently cross-linked peptidoglycan units and the regeneration of the catalytic PBP.<ref>"Peptidoglycan cell wall."

Class C β-lactamases share a very similar mechanism as the Class A β-lactams, acylation followed by hydrolytic deacylation.4 Class C differs from A in that the hydrolytic water, activated by tyrosine 150, approaches the enzyme from the opposite side. This activated water is what allows β-lactamases to deacylation and maintain their catalytic function, while PBPs cannot.<ref name="Bush 2013" /> Class D differs from A and C in that it has an N-carboxylated active site lysine which hydrogen bonds with the active site serine.<ref>Mobashery, Shahriar.
