| Abstract | The molecular interactions of the glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin (Van) with bacterial cell wall analogues N,N′-diacetyl-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala $(Ac_{2}KdAdA)$ and N,N′-diacetyl-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Lac $(Ac_{2}KdAdL)$ were investigated in neat water, phosphate buffer and HEPES buffer by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The FCS determined dissociation constants $(k_{d})$ show that the intrinsic binding affinity between Van and the drug-sensitive peptide ligand $Ac_{2}KdAdA$ remains invariant when the solvent is changed from neat water to either PBS or HEPES buffer; this demonstrates that there are no obvious solvent effects on the association between Van and $Ac_{2}KdAdA$ due to the strong intermolecular interaction between the two moieties. When compared to $Ac_{2}KdAdA,$ a significantly larger $k_{d}$ value was observed for the binding between the drug-resistant peptide ligand $Ac_{2}KdAdL$ and Van. Furthermore, the $k_{d}$ increased by about 8- to 11-times when the solvent was changed from neat water to 10 mM phosphate/HEPES buffer. The stability of the $Ac_{2}KdAdL–Van$ complex was dependent on the concentration of the buffer and $k_{d}$ increases as the concentration of either phosphate ions or HEPES increased until an equilibrium was attained. Both FCS and MD simulation studies clearly showed that the components constituting the buffer solution (e.g., phosphate ions and HEPES) are involved in molecular interactions with the binding pocket of Van and they profoundly affect the intrinsic stability of the complex formed between the low-affinity $Ac_{2}KdAdL$ and Van. These results could help us to better understand the detailed structure and activity of glycopeptide antibiotic derivatives toward bacterial cell wall peptide analogues, and can further facilitate the development of new drug candidates against drug-resistant bacterial strains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
