The question of how new enzyme activities evolve is of great biological interest and, in the context of antibiotic resistance, of great medical importance. Here, we have tested the hypothesis that new antibiotic resistance mechanisms may evolve from promiscuous housekeeping enzymes that have antibiotic modification side activities.
