Computational Design of New Teixobactin Analogues as Inhibitors of Lipid II Flippase MurJ
The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall is an essential component of the bacterial cell structure, and crippling its synthesis is one of the most successful strategies in the continuing war against pathogenic bacteria.

Supramolecular Interactions of Teixobactin Analogues in the Crystal State. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Teixobactin is a potent peptide antibiotic against Gram-positive bacteria that binds to lipid II and related peptidoglycan precursors and disrupts the cell membrane. This paper presents the X-ray crystallographic structure of the N -methylated teixobactin analogue

Single Atom Engineered Antibiotics Overcome Bacterial Resistance. [PDF]
Single atoms of manganese, tightly bonded to nitrogen‐doped carboxylated graphene, exhibit potent antibacterial properties and bypass bacterial resistance development, even after thirty bacterial generations. Antibacterial activity is observed against both Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria, as well as in in‐vivo models, while the material is ...

A Silent Operon of Photorhabdus luminescens Encodes a Prodrug Mimic of GTP
With the overmining of actinomycetes for compounds acting against Gram-negative pathogens, recent efforts to discover novel antibiotics have been focused on other groups of bacteria.

Backbone Protecting Groups for Enhanced Peptide and Protein Synthesis
This review provides a comprehensive account of the use of backbone N‐protecting groups in peptide synthesis. It includes detailed synthetic methods relating to their introduction and removal and their application to “difficult” peptides and proteins of biological significance in both academic and industry contexts.

Gromomycins represent a novel class of pentacyclic triterpene antibiotics with a unique biosynthetic pathway independent of the squalene route. These compounds exhibit potent activity against drug‐resistant Gram‐positive pathogens, including MRSA, and their unprecedented cyclization mechanism provides new insight into bacterial triterpene biosynthesis.
