Discovery of Kasugamycin as a Potent Inhibitor of Glycoside Hydrolase Family 18 Chitinases
Kasugamycin, a well-known aminoglycoside antibiotic, has been used widely in agriculture and medicine to combat microbial pathogens by binding the ribosome to inhibit translation. Here, kasugamycin was discovered to be a competitive inhibitor of glycoside hydrolase family 18 (GH18) chitinases from t...
