Funded Activity Summary

A radical approach to unnatural amino acids and peptide-based antibiotics. This project aims to develop a new synthetic approach to valuable amino acid derivatives and their rapid incorporation into peptide analogues, including promising new antibiotic candidates. This project expects to generate knowledge in the chemical and biological sciences and build scientific capacity to address the global rise of antimicrobial resistance. It is anticipated that this will provide direct health and economic benefits by establishing a powerful platform for peptide drug design.
