Representation of the vancomycin-d-alanyl–d-alanine interaction responsible for mediating the interaction between the NPs and the bacteria. The critical components for the strong H-bonding interaction both on the vancomycin molecule (the heptapeptide backbone) and the d-alanyl–d-alanine dipeptide exposed from the bacterial surface are highlighted.
