Two reduced Schiff base ligands (L 1 and L 2) were synthesized from two Schiff base
compounds containing pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxamide skeletons. In the presence of Zn (II) or …

Pyrophosphate (PPi) is a key biomarker for various cellular processes and human diseases
and thus the development of receptors to bind selectively with PPi ions and facilitate the …

The cell wall is essential for bacteria to maintain structural rigidity and withstand external
osmotic pressure. In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan. Lipid II is the basic …

Bacteria synthesize hundreds of bacteria-specific or “rare” sugars that are absent in
mammalian cells and enriched in 6-deoxy monosaccharides such as l-rhamnose (l-Rha) …

Instead of using the lipid II substrate that requires prior labelling with a radioactive isotope or
fluorophore to probe the formation of peptidoglycan in bacterial transglycosylation, the …

The need for synthetic methodologies capable of rapidly altering molecular structure are in
high demand. Most existing methods to modify scaffolds rely on net exothermicity to drive the …

New hetero-polynuclear coordination complexes based on a pentacoordinated Zn (II) metal
center with tridentate terpyridine-based ligands and monoanionic gallates functionalized …
