Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoplasmic steps of peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
TL;DR: This review deals with the cytoplasmic steps of peptidoglycan biosynthesis and the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of the nucleotide precursor substrates that are not commercially available and the search for specific inhibitors that could act as antibacterial compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of cinnamic acid derivatives.
TL;DR: Cinnamic acid derivatives, both isolated from plant material and synthesized, have been reported to have antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties and are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
