Abstract excerpt
Ribosomes are dynamic complexes responsible for translating the genetic information encoded in mRNAs to proteins. The accuracy of this process is vital to the survival of an organism, and is often compromised by translational miscoding agents. Aminoglycosides are a group of miscoding agents that bind to the ribosome and reduce the fidelity of translation. Previous studies have shown that aminoglycosides alter the...
