Platensimycin is a selective FabF inhibitor with potent antibiotic properties

Article Abstract:

The discovery of platensimycin, a previously unknown class of antibiotics produced by Streptomyces platensis is reported. It is shown that this anti-bacterial effects is exerted through the selective targeting of beta-ketoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein (ACP) synthase I/II (FabF/B) in the synthetic pathway of fatty acids.

A natural solution to corrosion?

Article Abstract:

The rate of corrosion damage can be reduced by the use of amino acids alanine, glycine and leucine as corrosion inhibitors into a metal's environment. In this connection, the inhibitor layer interferes with electron transfer and excludes the active acid from the metal surface.

Direct writing of three-dimensional webs

Article Abstract:

Concentrated polyelectrolyte inks are used to write three-dimensional microperiodic structures directly, without using masks. Fluid inks that flow readily through fine deposition nozzles and solidify rapidly in a coagulation reservoir, are developed, for this purpose.
