Vancomycin derivative with damaged D-Ala-D-Ala binding cleft binds to cross-linked peptidoglycan in the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus

Des-N-methylleucyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)benzyl-vancomycin (DFPBV) retains activity against vancomycin-resistant pathogens despite its damaged D-Ala-D-Ala binding cleft. Using solid-state NMR, a DFPBV binding site in the cell walls of whole cells of S. aureus has been identified. The cell walls were lab...
