Unbelievably proud of the work that everyone has put into this paper. Really grateful for such fab colleagues! Mycobacteria continue to be (subjectively) the most interesting bacteria 🤭

The Protein Data Bank (#PDB) has reached a new milestone: 250,441 entries in the archive, a record since its founding in 1971, all thanks to the efforts and contributions of the structural biology community.

Here, we show through NMR relaxation dispersion and ribosome assays that restraining flexibility of two central B-strands in domain III of EF-G prevents the increase of a disordered state critical for FA-resistance. Drugging this region thus presents a way to keep fusidic acid active

Fusidic acid is one of the last antibiotics active against Methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus. FusB-mediated protection of the drug target Elongation Factor-G is the biggest source of resistance in clinical settings where FusB rescues the translation factor EF-G from FA-stalled complexes

Inhibition of fusidic acid resistance through restricting conformational flexibility in domain III of EF-G | PNAS Fusidic acid (FA) is one of few remaining antibiotics active against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. FusB confers resistance to FA by ...
