Figure 2.
Fig. 2. The chemical structures of tiamulin, homoharringtonine, and bruceantin and the corresponding difference electron density. Panels (a)–(c) show the chemical structures of these inhibitors. Panels (d)–(f) show the feature in the appropriate (F[o] − F[o]) difference electron density map that was assigned to the three drugs, with the structures of the drugs superimposed on them. Difference electron density maps were contoured at 3σ. Residues forming the A-site cleft are shown in cyan, and 23S rRNA bases are numbered to correspond with the 23S rRNA of E. coli.
