Abstract excerpt
Ribosomally produced thiopeptide antibiotics are highly promising lead compounds targeting the GTPase-associated region (GAR) of the bacterial ribosome. A representative panel of GAR mutants suspected to confer resistance against thiopeptide antibiotics was reconstituted in vitro and quantitatively studied with fluorescent probes. It was found that single-site mutations of the ribosomal 23S rRNA binding site...
