List of Tables

 3.1 Details of metadynamics simulations
 6.1 A list of protein systems we have simulated on Folding@home. Systems are organized by viral strain and include name, oligomerization state, starting structure, number of residues, number of atoms in the system, aggregate simulation time, and the number of cryptic pockets we have identified. *Missing residues were modeled using Swiss model [1]. **Structural model was generated from a homologous sequence using Swiss model [1]. ***Missing residues were modeled using CHARMM-GUI [2, 3]
 7.1 MICs for E. coli containing CTX-M-14 wild type, mutants, and no β-lactamase control
 7.2 Enzyme kinetic parameters of CTX-M-14 β-lactamase and mutant enzymes
 7.3 Abbreviations used in chapter 2
