• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  Antibiotic resistance remains a leading cause of severe infections worldwide. Small changes in protein sequence can impact antibiotic efficacy. Here, we report deposition of 58 X-ray crystal structures of bacterial proteins that are known targets for antibiotics, which expands knowledge of structural variation to support future antibiotic discovery or modifications.
