Switching an Antibiotic On and Off with Light
KARLSRUHE, Germany, and KIEV, Ukraine, March 25, 2014 — Soon antibiotics may be switched on and off as readily as a lightbulb, treating localized infections and even cancer in the process. A team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Kiev incorporated a photoswitchable molecule into an antibiotic so that its biological activity can be controlled with light of particular wavelengths. The researchers developed an amino acid analog by modifying a peptide mimetic — a compound that mimics a peptide, or small protein
