Journal Article
Chio, H., Guest, E. E., Hobman, J. L., Dottorini, T., Hirst, J. D., & Stekel, D. J. (2023). Predicting bioactivity of antibiotic metabolites by molecular docking and dynamics. Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 123, Article 108508. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmgm.2023.108508

Antibiotics enter the environment through waste streams, where they can exert selective pressure for antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. However, many antibiotics are excreted as partly metabolized forms, or can be subject to partial breakdown in w...

SilE is an intrinsically disordered periplasmic ‘molecular sponge' involved in bacterial silver resistance (2016)
Journal Article
Asiani, K. R., Williams, H. E. L., Bird, L., Jenner, M., Searle, M. S., Hobman, J. L., …Soultanas, P. (2016). SilE is an intrinsically disordered periplasmic ‘molecular sponge' involved in bacterial silver resistance. Molecular Microbiology, 101(5), 731-742. https://doi.org/10.1111/mmi.13399

Ag+ resistance was initially found on the Salmonella enetrica serovar Typhimurium multi-resistance plasmid pMG101 from burns patients in 1975. The putative model of Ag+ resistance, encoded by the sil operon from pMG101, involves export of Ag+ via an...
