⚛️ Would today’s antibiotics still work if bacterial biology were flipped at the molecular level?

Now in Chem Sci! 🎉
We investigated how #enzymes in the #nonribosomal #biosynthesis of life-saving #peptide #antibiotics can be engineered.
Assuming that #promiscuity serves as a springboard for #evolution, we measured the specificity profiles of hundreds of mutants. The results revealed remarkable shifts in substrate specificity in multiple directions, highlighting the evolutionary potential of these enzymes and leading the way for engineering antibiotic biosynthesis.

"Rapid Antibiotic Discovery using a Direct-to-Biology Approach"

Storm van der Voort from the group of Hermen Overkleeft and our group at the @LED3hub presented his exciting research into efficiently finding new antibacterially active #CovalentInhibitors using a direct-to-biology approach and into finding their targets using residue-specific chemoproteomics with the isoDTB-ABPP technology at #NWOCHAINS.

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have combined earlier work on painless #microneedles with #nanoscale #sensors to create a wearable sensor patch capable of continuously monitoring the levels of one of these #antibiotics.
