Structures of the <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> ribosome inhibited by fusidic acid and fusidic acid cyclopentane

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The antibiotic fusidic acid (FA) is used to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections. It inhibits protein synthesis by binding to elongation factor G (EF-G) and preventing its release from the ribosome after translocation. While FA is only effective against gram-positive bacteria, the available structures of FA-inhibited complexes are from gram-negative model organisms. To fill this knowledge gap...
