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. ... -
Daptomycin forms cation- and size-selective pores in model membranes
(Elsevier, 2014-10)Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic that is used clinically to treat severe infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Its bactericidal action involves the calcium-dependent binding to membranes containing ...
