cyclic thiazolyl peptide elfamycin

Accession ARO:3001309
DefinitionCyclic thiazolyl peptide elfamycins inhibit protein synthesis by preventing the formation of the EF-Tu*GTP-aa-tRNA ternary complex, a mechanism similar to that of pulvomycin. There are non-elfamycin cyclic thiazolyl peptide antibiotics which inhibit protein synthesis by by targeting the 50S ribosomal subunit and are not discussed here further.
