PNCC Standard Access - Structural insights into bacterial divisome "Fts" proteins

Our vision is to develop and use structural biology methods to characterize membrane-associated protein assemblies relevant to antibiotic resistance and bacterial pathogenicity. We aim to illuminate the mechanism and specificity of these targets and exploit this information in the design of new antibiotics to control and prevent drug resistant bacterial infections.

For the purposes of this standard access request, we focus on the structural characterization of the “Fts” proteins.
