Glucose-Induced Cyclic Lipopeptides Resistance in Bacteria via ATP Maintenance through Enhanced Glycolysis

iScience, 2019
Summary: Cyclic lipopeptide (CLP) antibiotics have a mechanism that causes membrane malfunction. Thus mechanisms of bacterial resistance to CLPs are thought to modify cell surfaces. However, we found that bacterial resistance to CLPs was strongly related

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.
