Bacterial cells have an added layer of protection, called the cell wall, that animal cells don't. Assembling this tough armor entails multiple steps, some of which are targeted by antibiotics like ...

Researchers have simplified the operation of an important class of chemical transformation: synthesis of beta-lactams, the intricate scaffold of many antibiotics. Their experimental protocol minimizes ...

A small molecular strand could hold the key to solving one of the greatest global health challenges. When bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics, it can be deadly, but now researchers have decoded ...
