I am a (retired) Biology teacher with a (reasonably popular) website covering biological topics: www.biotopics.co.uk. It is aimed primarily at young people and anyone interested in learning about biology and biochemistry. To this end, I have included reference to your work and teixobactin on 3 of my pages: http://www.biotopics.co.uk/jsmol/teixobactin.html http://www.biotopics.co.uk/r15/teixobactin_background.html http://www.biotopics.co.uk/jsmol/jsAntibiotic_types.html I hope this is Ok (and that they are essentially accurate!). I would like to check a few details: Am I right in stating that bacteria enter the spaces in the iChip by deposition from the original suspension - they are not individually inoculated in (as some sources state)? In fact, how may colonies grow on average? Wikipedia had iChip down as insertional chromatin immunoprecipitation! Actually I now see that the Italian version still has it (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teixobactin?oldformat=true) but I am not confident enough to jump in and edit it. And am I right that sensitivity testing is a separate stage than isolating the organism in the first place? I'm not sure about the Drug Quest graphic in the Wall Street Journal article: http://www.wsj.com/articles/scientists-discover-new-antibiotic-a-potential-weapon-against-a-range-of-diseases-1420654892. Am I right in saying teixobactin is produced in a 'normal' fermentation process, following acclimatisation to standard microbiological techniques? I don't want commercial secrets! I have logged N-methyl-D-phenylalanine and D-glutamine as D-forms. Have I missed any others? I have categorised teixobactin as a Depsipeptide - do you have a better description? Many thanks for your attention, and good luck with your efforts. Best wishes Richard Steane
