A long-distance rRNA base pair impacts the ability of macrolide antibiotics to kill bacteria

While most of the ribosome-targeting antibiotics are bacteriostatic, some members of the macrolide class demonstrate considerable bactericidal activity. We previously showed that an extended alkyl-aryl side chain is the key structural element determining the macrolides’ slow dissociation from the ri...
