Inhibition of
Inhibitors of bacterial DD-peptidases represent potential antibiotics. In the search for alternatives to β-lactams, we have investigated a series of compounds designed to generate transition state analogue structures upon reaction with DD-peptidases. The compounds contain a combination of a peptidoglycan-mimetic specificity handle and a warhead capable

Primary and predicted secondary structure of the Actinomadura R39 extracellular
As derived from gene cloning and sequencing, the 489-amino-acid DD-peptidase/penicillin-binding protein (PBP) produced by Actinomadura R39 has a primary structure very similar to that of the Escherichia coli PBP4 [Mottl, Terpstra & Keck (1991) FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 78, 213-220]. Hydrophobic-cluster analysis of the two proteins shows that, providing

Additional evidence is given that in Streptomyces strains R39, R61, and K11 the same enzyme performs dd -carboxypeptidase and transpeptidase activities and that this enzyme is the killing site of β-lactam antibiotics. With strain R61, it was found that the exocellular enzyme has a sensitivity

Synthesis and Evaluation of 3-(Dihydroxyboryl)benzoic Acids as
Penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) catalyze steps in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell walls and are the targets for the beta-lactam antibiotics. Non-beta-lactam based antibiotics that target PBPs are of interest because bacteria have evolved resistance to the beta-lactam antibiotics.

Investigating Potential Adverse Drug Reactions of Lisdexamfetamine Using Sequence Symmetry Analysis [PDF]
ABSTRACT The prevalence of ADHD is increasing rapidly, and lisdexamfetamine is increasingly popular, but few studies investigate its safety. We performed a sequence symmetry analysis (SSA) using Danish register data to identify potential ADRs associated with lisdexamfetamine in 2013–2023.

Haemodialysis Nurses' Self-Reported Cultural Competence and Responsiveness: A Cross-Sectional Survey. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background People receiving in‐centre haemodialysis have distinct cultural care needs and preferences, and nurses are expected to respond to these. However, haemodialysis nurses' cultural competence and responsiveness are unknown. Objectives To examine nurses' cultural competence and responsiveness when caring for people with diverse cultural ...
