Enzyme Cascades controlled in the Electrochemical Leaf for Discovery in Antimicrobial Strategy

The University of Manchester Department of Chemistry

Antibiotic discovery is usually aimed at single entities, for example a bacterial enzyme or efflux protein. This also means that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms are considered in terms of the individual response, for example, mutations in a single target enzyme, affording resistance to the drug.
