Micafungin sodium, the second of the echinocandin class of antifungals: theory and practice.

abstract：:Understanding the structural basis of antibacterial resistance may enable rational design principles that avoid and subvert that resistance, thus leading to the discovery of more effective antibiotics. In this review, we explore the use of crystal structures to guide new discovery of antibiotics that are effective aga...
