The development of new mechanisms for antibiotics is essential to combating antimicrobial resistance. With its unique chemical scaffold, Teixobactin is a new class of antibiotics that lacks detectable resistance. A precursor of peptidoglycan, lipid II, is targeted by Teixobactin. Teixobactin binds specifically to the sugar moiety of lipid II at its C-terminal enduracididine headgroup, whereas…
Scientists used neutrons to learn more about how aurein 1.2, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that attacks bacteria’s membranes, kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The research will be crucial in identifying and developing more efficient and cost-effective AMPs. Antibiotic drugs have saved countless lives by preventing and treating bacterial infections since the discovery of penicillin more than 90…
