Discovery and structural characterization of a small molecule 14-3-3 protein-protein interaction inhibitor.

abstract：:With current concerns of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and biodefense, it has become important to rapidly identify infectious bacteria. Traditional technologies involving isolation and amplification of the pathogenic bacteria are time-consuming. We report a rapid and simple method that combines in vivo biotinylation o...
