Gram-scale total synthesis of teixobactin promoting binding mode study and discovery of more potent antibiotics

The presence of the unnatural amino acid l-allo-enduracidine in the cyclic scaffold of teixobactin complicates its total synthesis. Here, the authors developed a convergent strategy for the scalable synthesis teixobactin and found two potent analogous.
