Phosphate Ions Alter the Binding of Daptomycin to Living Bacterial Cell Surfaces
3 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Advancements in antibiotic drug design are often hindered by missing information on how these small molecules interact with living cells. The antibiotic, daptomycin, has found clinical success and an emerging resistance, but a comprehensive picture of its mechanism of action has remained elusive. Using a surface-specific spectroscopy technique, second harmonic generation, we are able to quantitatively assess the...
