Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

This is one of the currently active research projects associated with the chemistry and biochemistry department. Learn how you can be involved with research as a Calvin student. Let's go smaller. And ...

An efficient total-synthesis pathway with extraordinary flexibility ... against bacteria known to be resistant to tetracycline, penicillin, methicillin and/or vancomycin. These derivatives were ...

One famous example is penicillin, which was unintentionally ... drugs has relied heavily on the identification, isolation, and synthesis of novel bioactive chemicals from bacteria, fungi, and ...

Historically, this was the case with natural products such as penicillin, vitamin B12 and taxol. Indeed, these total-synthesis efforts led to the development of a number of creative synthetic ...

The beta-lactam ring portion of the antibiotic targets the penicillin-binding proteins (PBP), found in the bacterial cell membrane, which function in the synthesis of the cell wall. Binding of the ...
