The molecular structures of different versions of teixobactin were explored to develop drugs for tackling antimicrobial resistance, reveals study.

Health professionals are in urgent need of new antibiotics to tackle resistant bacteria. Researchers have now modified the chemical structure of naturally occurring peptides to develop ...

Artificial intelligence helped screen millions of chemical compounds to find a class of antibiotics capable of killing two different types of drug-resistant bacteria ...

Scientists have created an atomic-scale structure of a bacterial ribosome attached to a molecule that controls its motion. The image is also a possible roadmap to better antibiotics. Somewhere in ...

Complexes of ribosomal subunits with antibiotics are essential to understand the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic binding, antibiotic resistance, and for rational drug design.

Scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and other institutions have discovered a 'molecular pencil sharpener' that chews away its outer coating to release a powerful antibiotic. Their ...

Scientists from Newcastle University and the UK's ISIS Neutron and Muon research facility have worked together on a new project that is increasing our understanding of how antibiotics treat bacteria.

Obesity can have a distinct impact on the absorption, effectiveness and excretion of antibiotics, medications that have been in use for more than 80 years, but only now have consensus guidelines been ...

The researchers conclude that their results may lead to the peptide structure-based design of second-generation antibiotics.

The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals, each a tiny pinprick of potential. And we’ve only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove ...

Hospital superbugs could be tackled with chemical glue that allows antibiotics to be combined, study suggests Technique could speed up drug discovery and also applied to cancer treatments to help ...
