Abstract :
[en] Following from the evaluation of different types of electrophiles, combined modeling and
crystallographic analyses are used to generate potent boronic acid based inhibitors of a penicillin binding
protein. The results suggest that a structurally informed approach to penicillin binding protein inhibition
will be useful for the development of both improved reversibly binding inhibitors, including boronic acids,
and acylating inhibitors, such as β-lactams.
