X-ray crystallographic structure of a teixobactin analogue reveals key interactions of the teixobactin pharmacophore

Abstract

The X-ray crystallographic structure of a truncated teixobactin analogue reveals hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions and a cavity that binds a chloride anion. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays against Gram-positive bacteria correlate the observed structure with antibiotic activity.
