Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Kanamycin, an aminoglycoside, is an effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent against bacterial infections. However, the clinical efficacy of aminoglycosides has been overshadowed by the emergence of resistance mechanisms involving enzyme-mediated covalent modifications. Aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferases (ANTs) inactivate aminoglycosides via AMP group transfer. Elucidating their molecular...
