Molecular mechanisms that confer antibacterial drug resistance
TLDR
The authors live in an era when antibiotic resistance has spread at an alarming rate and dire predictions concerning the lack of effective antibacterial drugs occur with increasing frequency, so it is apposite to ask a few simple questions about these life-saving molecules.

Genetics and Assembly Line Enzymology of Siderophore Biosynthesis in Bacteria
TLDR
The mechanisms of siderophore biosynthesis follow the same fundamental enzymatic logic, which involves a series of elongating acyl-S-enzyme intermediates on multimodular protein assembly lines: nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS).

Functional association of cyclophilin A with HIV-1 virions
TLDR
The association of cyclophilin A with HIV-1 virions was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by cyclosporin A as well as by SDZ NIM811, a non-immunosuppressive analogue of cyclospora A, indicating that the association is functionally relevant.
