This is a picture generated from crystal structure data reported by James R. Knox and R. F. Pratt in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Year 1990, Volume 34, Issue 7, Pages 1342-1347. It shows a short peptide (L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine), which is a bacterial cell wall precursor, bound to the antibiotic en:vancomycin. The peptide is bound to vancomycin through five hydrogen bonds indicated by the dotted lines. It was made by myself and is free to be used by all.
