Hydrophobic Side-Chain Length Determines Activity and Conformational Heterogeneity of a Vancomycin Derivative Bound to the Cell Wall of Staphylococcus aureus

Disaccharide modified glycopeptides with hydrophobic sidechains are active against vancomycin-resistant enterococci and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus. The activity depends on the length of the sidechain. The benzyl sidechain of N-(4-fluorobenzyl)vancomycin (FBV) has the minimal length sufficient fo...
