Phosphate Ions Alter the Binding of Daptomycin to Living Cell Membranes
2020-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Advancements in antibiotic drug design are often hindered by missing information in how these small molecules interact with living cells. The antibiotic, daptomycin, has found clinical success, and emerging resistance, but a comprehensive picture of its mechanism of action has remained elusive. Using the surface-specific spectroscopy, second harmonic generation, we are able to quantitatively assess the binding of...
