Non-<i>β</i>-Lactam Allosteric Inhibitors Target Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>: An <i>In Silico</i> Drug Discovery Study

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) catalyze the final stages for peptidoglycan cell-wall bio-synthesis. Mutations in the PBP2a subunit can attenuate <i>β</i>-lactam antibiotic activity, resulting in unimpeded cell-wall formation and methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus<...
