Overview

Randomized trial reveals new biaryl cross-link chemistry in glycopeptide antibiotics, suggesting potential for expanded treatments.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the impact of P450 gene disruption on the biaryl chemistry of glycopeptide antibiotics.
  • Disruption of P450 genes in the biosynthetic gene cluster of varsomycin.
  • Identification of resulting macrocyclic ring systems through chemical analysis.
  • Discovery of a novel macrocyclic ring system in glycopeptide antibiotics.
  • Expansion of the chemical space for glycopeptide antibiotics.
