Turning Defense into Offense: Defensin Mimetics as Novel Antibiotics Targeting Lipid II
We have previously reported on the functional interaction of Lipid II with human alpha-defensins, a class of antimicrobial peptides. Lipid II is an essential precursor for bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and an ideal and validated target for natural antibiotic compounds. Using a combination of stru...
