Abstract excerpt
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance requires concerted efforts in enzymology and medicinal chemistry. Here we describe a new synthetic biology approach to antibiotic development, where the presence of tetracycline antibiotics is linked to a life-death selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This artificial genetic circuit allowed the deep mutational scanning of the tetracycline...
