Daptomycin (dap), an important clinical antibiotic, recognizes the absolute configuration of phosphatidylglycerol (PG), a key lipid found in bacterial membranes. The configuration at the headgroup of PG was found to be particularly important for dap–PG interactions. This is a rare example of a natural product targeting a membrane lipid through chiral recognition.
达托霉素 (dap) 是一种重要的临床抗生素,可识别磷脂酰甘油 (PG) 的绝对构型,这是一种在细菌膜中发现的关键脂质。发现 PG 头组的配置对于 dap-PG 相互作用特别重要。这是通过手性识别靶向膜脂的天然产物的罕见例子。
