DOI: 10.1016/j.tcb.2021.03.004
Abstract: The gasdermin (GSDM) family has evolved as six gene clusters (GSDMA-E and Pejvakin, PJVK), and GSDM proteins are characterized by a unique N-terminal domain (N-GSDM). With the exception of PJVK, the N-GSDM domain is capable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16600-2
Abstract: The natural antibiotic teixobactin kills pathogenic bacteria without detectable resistance. The difficult synthesis and unfavourable solubility of teixobactin require modifications, yet insufficient knowledge on its binding mode impedes the hunt for superior analogues. Thus far,… read more here.
