  • Advanced studies on cyclic amino acids in neurological signaling and peptide antibiotics

    Creator:
    Blanchard, David, L.
    Abstract:
    L-pipecolic acid (L-PA) is the higher homolog of proline. It occurs naturally in many organisms, including primates, as an intermediate in lysine degradation. The pathway by which lysine is converted into L-pipecolic acid employs the enzyme Lpipecolate oxidase (L-PO), and appears to be tissue specific to the central nervous system...

  • Biosynthesis and modification of the antibiotic enduracidin

    Creator:
    Goebel, Neal C.
    Abstract:
    The continued propagation of antibiotic resistance requires the development of new therapeutics. The lipopeptide antibiotic enduracidin has demonstrated high activity against Gram-positive pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In addition to a lack of cross-resistance with existing antibiotic classes, enduracidin has no known transferrable resistance mechanism. The development of enduracidin as...
