Antibiotics present and future.

Abstract:

:Here we make a brief survey of the present state of antibiotic research and use. We also describe a novel antibiotic that contains a basic peptide covalently bound to a morpholino oligonucleotide.

  • Fibre diffraction of lithium DNA shows structural variability and deviation from a regular helical structure for the B-form.

    abstract::Recently, reports have appeared which show structural variations in B-DNA and indicate deviations from a uniform helical structure. We report for the first time that these indications are also present in the B-form fibre diffraction patterns for the lithium salt of natural DNA. We have used an improved method of contr...
