Thus, the enzyme is a potential target for developing antimicrobial agents against pathogens producing carbapenemases. In this study, OXA-23<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" times="" new="" roman","serif";="" mso-fareast-font-family:gulim;mso-bidi-font-family:mangal;mso-ansi-language:="" en-us;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:hi"="" lang="EN-US"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" times="" new="" roman","serif";="" mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-bidi-font-family:mangal;="" mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:hi"="" lang="EN-US">was purified and crystallized at 298 K and X-ray diffraction data from OXA-23<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" times="" new="" roman","serif";="" mso-fareast-font-family:gulim;mso-bidi-font-family:mangal;mso-ansi-language:="" en-us;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:hi"="" lang="EN-US"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:" times="" new="" roman","serif";="" mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" roman";mso-bidi-font-family:mangal;="" mso-ansi-language:en-us;mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:hi"="" lang="EN-US">crystal were collected at 2.03 Å resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystal of OXA-23 belonged to space group <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">P</i>4<sub>1</sub> with unit cell parameters <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">a </i>= 82.47, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">b </i>= 82.47 and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">c </i>= 172.01 Å.
