Confirmation
This work shows how vancomycin-resistant bacteria could be re-sensitized with small molecules catalyzing the selective cleavage of the mutated D-Ala-D-Lac ester bond at the depsipeptide termini of the peptidoglycan wall.
The authors used a large combinatorial library of acylated tripeptides that was incubated against a labeled...
