Aminoglycoside binding to Eukaryotic ribosomal A-sites

Crystal structure visualization of (A) G418 leishmanial A-site rRNA complexes. Electron density 2Fo-Fc maps are contoured at 1.0σ around the aminoglycoside.

Crystal structure visualization of (B) Apramycin (yellow) – leishmanial A-site rRNA complexes. Electron density 2Fo-Fc maps are contoured at 1.0σ around the aminoglycoside.

Aminoglycosides can serve as antibiotic or antiparasital compounds or can afford transcriptional read-through of non-sense mutations. Visualization of the modes of binding different compounds shows the source of inhibitory strength. Click here to read more.
