Abstract excerpt
The 4,6-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamines interfere with protein biosynthesis by specifically targeting the ribosomal A site. These drugs show subtle variations in the chemical groups of rings I, II, and III. In the present study we used site-directed mutagenesis to generate mutant strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155 SMR5 DeltarrnB with mutations in its single rRNA allele, rrnA. This genetic procedure...
