Characterization of daptomycin oligomerization with perylene excimer fluorescence: Stoichiometric binding of phosphatidylglycerol triggers oligomer formation
(Elsevier, 2012-03)Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic that binds to and depolarizes bacterial cell membranes. Its antibacterial activity requires calcium and correlates with the content of phosphatidylglycerol in the target membrane. ... -
Membrane binding and oligomer formation by the calcium-dependent lipopeptide antibiotic A54145: a quantitative study with pyrene excimer fluorescence
(Elsevier, 2016-09-20)A54145 is a lipopeptide antibiotic related to daptomycin that permeabilizes bacterial cell membranes. Its action requires both calcium and phosphatidylglycerol in the target membrane, and it is accompanied by the formation ...
