Antibacterial mechanisms identified through structural systems pharmacology [PDF]
BMC Systems Biology, 2013 Abstract Background The growing discipline of structural systems pharmacology is applied prospectively in this study to predict pharmacological outcomes of antibacterial compounds in Escherichia coli K12. This work builds upon previously established methods for structural prediction of ligand binding pockets on ...

Intraportal Lipopolysaccharide Suppresses Pulmonary Antibacterial Defense Mechanisms [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1997 Translocation of enteric bacteria or their components (or both) has been postulated to play a role in precipitating sepsis or the systemic inflammatory response syndrome. To simulate the effects of translocation on pulmonary host defenses, lipopolysaccharide was injected into the portal vein of normal rats that were subsequently challenged by aerosol ...

Antibacterial Mechanism of Action of Arylamide Foldamers [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2011 ABSTRACT Small arylamide foldamers designed to mimic the amphiphilic nature of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have shown potent bactericidal activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains without many of the drawbacks of natural AMPs. These foldamers were shown to cause large changes in the permeability of the outer
