This document discusses using computational approaches to understand penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and their inhibitors. It summarizes docking and QSAR studies of hamamelitannin derivatives as potential PBP inhibitors. Docking identified compounds with highest binding affinity. QSAR models had good predictive ability. Docking of beta-lactam antibiotics suggested some may be potent against various PBPs. A PCM model analyzed how 50 PBP mutations affect antibiotic susceptibility, finding certain mutations decrease binding near the active site. Computational approaches provide insights to improve treatment of drug-resistant bacteria.
