Abstract P-15: Structural Insights of Dirithromycin Binding to the Bacterial Ribosome

Background: Macrolide antibiotics bind in the nascent peptide exit tunnel (NPET) of the bacterial ribosome near the peptidyl transferase center. One of the second-generation macrolides, dirithromycin (DIR), differs from the parent erythromycin (ERY) by the presence of a hydrophobic (2-methoxyethoxy)...
