Biochimie - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt
The antibiotic, thiostrepton, binds to 23S ribosomal RNA from E coli with a dissociation constant (KD) of 2.4 x 10(-7) M. The specificity of the interaction was established using 16S rRNA and modified or mutationally-altered 23S rRNA. Thus, no binding was detected with rRNA from the 30S subunit nor with rRNA modified in vitro by the thiostrepton resistance methylase. Mutant 23S rRNA, altered at residue 1067 in...
