Crystal structures of two aminoglycoside kinases bound with a eukaryotic protein kinase inhibitor. [PDF]
Antibiotic resistance is recognized as a growing healthcare problem. To address this issue, one strategy is to thwart the causal mechanism using an adjuvant in partner with the antibiotic.

Aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase III, a new phosphotransferase. Resistance mechanism.
The aminoglycoside phosphotransferase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 21-75 was purified by affinity chromatography using dibekacin-Sephadex 4B or lividomycin A-Sepharose 4B followed by DEAE Sephadex A-50 chromatography. It had activities of both the known aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferases I and II, and transferred phosphate from ATP to the 3'-hydroxyl ...

Prospects for circumventing aminoglycoside kinase mediated antibiotic resistance
Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Unfortunately, resistance in clinical isolates is pervasive, rendering many aminoglycosides ineffective.

Identifcation of small molecule enzyme inhibitors as broad-spectrum anthelmintics [PDF]
Targeting chokepoint enzymes in metabolic pathways has led to new drugs for cancers, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases. This is also a cornerstone approach for discovery and development of anthelmintics against nematode and flatworm parasites.

Enzymes are enriched in bacterial essential genes.
Essential genes, those indispensable for the survival of an organism, play a key role in the emerging field, synthetic biology. Characterization of functions encoded by essential genes not only has important practical implications, such as in identifying

Relating the metatranscriptome and metagenome of the human gut [PDF]
Although the composition of the human microbiome is now wellstudied, the microbiota’s \u3e8 million genes and their regulation remain largely uncharacterized.
