The riddle of the origin of life is unsolved as yet. One of the best ways to solve the riddle would be to find a vestige of the first life from databases of DNA and/or protein of modern organisms. It would be, especially, important to know the origin of tRNA, because it mediates between genetic information and the amino acid sequence of a protein. Here I attempt to find a vestige of the origin and evolution of tRNA from base sequences of Pseudomonas aeruginosa tRNA gene. It was first perceived that 5' anticodon (AntiC) stem sequences of P. aeruginosa tRNA for translation of G-start codon (GNN) are intimately and mutually related. Then, mutual relations among all of the forty-two 5' AntiC stem sequences of P. aeruginosa tRNA were examined. These relationships imply that P. aeruginosa tRNA originated from four anticodon stem-loops (AntiC-SL) translating GNC codons to the corresponding four amino acids, Gly, Ala, Asp and Val (where N is G, C, A, or T). In contrast to the case of AntiC-stem sequence, a mutual relation map could not be drawn with D-, T- and acceptor-stem sequences of P. aeruginosa tRNA. Thus I conclude that the four AntiC-SLs were the first primeval tRNAs.

Molecular hybridization, which consists of the combination of two or more pharmacophores into a single molecule, is an innovative approach in drug design to afford new chemical entities with enhanced biological activity. In the present study, this strategy was pursued to develop a new series of 6,7-dimethoxy-4-piperazinylquinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives (-) with potential antibiotic activity by combining the quinoline, the piperazinyl, and the benzoylamino moieties, three recurrent frameworks in antimicrobial research. Initial in silico evaluations were conducted on the designed compounds, highlighting favorable ADMET and drug-likeness properties, which were synthesized through a multistep strategy, isolated, and fully characterized.

Background/objectives: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health threat, which is exacerbated by the lack of new antibiotics and the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) superbugs. Comprehensive efforts and alternative strategies to combat AMR are urgently needed to prevent social, medical, and economic consequences. is a pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections, from soft tissue infections to life-threatening conditions such as bacteremia and pneumonia.

Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a global public health concern. IMP-13 is a carbapenemase that was described for the first time in 2001 but is often underestimated due to poor hydrolysis of carbapenems and a lack of molecular detection. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic support of bla in P.

Article Synopsis
  • * There is a growing need for alternative treatments due to drug resistance in H. pylori, leading to research at the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID) into potential drug targets, specifically Glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS).
  • * The SSGCID has successfully determined the structure of H. pylori GluRS, which shares significant similarities with other bacterial GluRS, presenting opportunities for drug discovery aimed at developing new antibacterials to combat H. pylori infections.

The combination of phage and antibiotics in clearing bacterial infection holds promise due to increasing reports of enhanced effectiveness when both are used together.
