Structural basis for cross-resistance to ribosomal PTC antibiotics

Abstract excerpt

Clinically relevant antibiotics that target the ribosomal peptidyl transferase center (PTC), a highly conserved ribosomal region, exert their inhibitory action by exploiting the flexibility of PTC nucleotides, which trigger modulations of the shape of the antibiotic binding pocket. Resistance to these antibiotics was observed clinically and in vitro. Based on the crystal structures of the large ribosomal subunit...
