Development of a high-throughput strategy for discovery of potent analogues of antibiotic lysocin E

Abstract

The depsipeptide Lysocin E has antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Here, the authors developed a high-throughput one-bead-on-compound method for the synthesis and screening lysocin E derivatives, with several hits being more active than the parent compound.
