Abstract

Bacterial cell division is an attractive target for new antibiotics. FtsZ is a major cytoskeletal protein widespread among archaea and bacteria. FtsZ has a filament-forming GTPase and a structural homologue of eukaryotic tubulin. FtsZ has been validated as a target for antibiotics. This review summarizes the chemical features, binding sites, mechanisms of action, and minimum inhibitory concentration of FtsZ inhibitors.
