Figure 4.
Linezolid overlaps A-site ligands at the peptidyltransferase center. (A–F) Comparison of the binding site of linezolid (pink) on D50S (A) with chloramphenicol (PDB ID code 1K01; green) (6) (B), anisomycin (PDB ID code 1K73; olive) (3) (C), tiamulin (PDB ID code 1XBP; teal) (7) (D), clindamycin (PDB ID code 1JZX; magenta) (6) (E), and A- (yellow) and P-site (orange) phenylalanyl-tRNA CCA-end mimics (PDB ID code 1VQN) (27) (F). In all cases, U2585 (blue) from the D50S-linezolid structure is shown for reference.
