A Predicted Helix-Turn-Helix Core Is Critical for Bacteriophage Kil Peptide to Disrupt <i>Escherichia coli</i> Cell Division
<b>Background/objectives</b>: FtsZ, a eukaryotic tubulin homolog and an essential component of the bacterial divisome, is the target of numerous antimicrobial compounds as well as proteins and peptides, most of which inhibit FtsZ polymerization dynamics. We previously showed that the Kil...
