While the beta-lactam antibiotics have been employed as an antimicrobial strategy for nearly a century, much remains unclear about how inhibitor structure informs potency and PBP isoform selectivity. Here, we obtained high-resolution structures (<2A) of S. pneumoniae PBP1b cocrystallized with 6 beta-lactams. Surprisingly, 2 structures feature a noncanonical conformation of the covalent "acyl-enzyme complex." To clarify how protein-ligand interactions mediate inhibitor binding, we applied molecular modeling and molecular mechanics-based dynamics analyses. Our analyses illustrate how seemingly minimal changes to inhibitor structure modulate beta-lactam binding mode and inhibitor potency, as described by the metric k(inact)/K(I). Furthermore, we demonstrate that persistent interaction in the covalent acyl-enzyme complex between the inhibitor carboxylate and a highly conserved three-residue motif is not fully predictive of k(inact)/K(I) for PBP1b. In silico modeling suggests that the noncovalent preacyl complex may leverage this interaction, but a postacylation change in ligand conformation may accompany acylation in some inhibitors. The elucidation of key PBP1b ligand-receptor interactions pre- and postacylation will inform the rational design of novel PBP inhibitors and probes.
