In modern medicine, antibiotics play a central role in the treatment of bacterial infections. In nature they are produced by bacteria or fungi, which they also use to defend themselves against other bacteria. Using a group of glycopeptide antibiotics

A new study led by researchers at EMBL Australia, Monash University, and Harvard University demonstrates a novel way of making antibiotics more effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The new findings pave a way for improving the effectiveness of antibiotics without clinicians having to rely on higher doses or the discovery of new types of antibiotics.

A multi-disciplinary project driven by EMBL Australia researchers at Monash University and Harvard University has found a way to make antibiotics more

 E-Mail Peptides " short strings of amino acids" play a vital role in health and industry with a huge range of medical uses including in antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drugs. They are also used in the cosmetics industry and for enhancing athletic performance. Altering the structure of natural peptides to produce improved compounds is therefore of great interest to scientists and industry. But how the machineries that produce these peptides work still isnt clearly understood. As...
