Discovery of a fragment hit compound targeting D-Ala:D-Ala ligase of bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis

Bacterial resistance is an increasing threat to healthcare systems, highlighting the need for discovering new antibacterial agents. An established technique, fragment-based drug discovery, was used to target a bacterial enzyme Ddl involved in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan. We assembled general a...
