Topics Covered

• Introduction to a paradox: how can a universally conserved cellular component be a target for pharmacologically useful antibiotics?
• Introduction to ribosome structure
• Antibiotic binding sites cluster in the ribosome
• The source of the species specificity of antibiotics that interact with the A-site cleft
• How macrolides interact with the ribosome
• The structural consequences of mutations that make ribosomes resistant to macrolides
• The toxicity of macrolides is not well understood
