Vancomycin and related glycopeptide antibiotics exert their antimicrobial effect by binding to carboxy-terminal peptide targets in the bacterial cell wall and preventing the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan. Bacteria can resist the action of these agents by replacing the peptide targets with

The crystal structures of three vancomycin complexes with two vancomycin-sensitive cell-wall precursor analogs (diacetyl-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala and acetyl-D-Ala-D-Ala) and a vancomycin-resistant cell-wall precursor analog (diacetyl-Lys-D-Ala-D-lactate) were determined at atomic resolutions of 1.80 A, 1.07 A, and 0.93 A, respectively. These structures not
