Abstract excerpt
Kinetic analysis of ribosomal peptidyltransferase activity in a methanolic puromycin reaction with wild type and drug-resistant 23 S RNA mutants was used to probe the structural basis of catalysis and mechanism of resistance to antibiotics. 23 S RNA mutants G2032A and G2447A are resistant to oxazolidinones both in vitro and in vivo with the latter displaying a 5-fold increase in the value of Km for initiator tRNA...
