Skoltech researchers have described the novel inhibitor of bacterial ribosomes

Skoltech researchers Dmitrii Travin, Mikhail Metelev, Ilya Osterman and Konstantin Severinov have co-authored a preprint “Phazolicin – a Novel Thiazole/Oxazole-Modified Peptide Inhibiting the Bacterial Ribosome in a Species-Specific Way” that has been recently published at bioRxiv. In this work, the scientists describe the novel inhibitor of bacterial ribosomes that is called a phazolicin​. Full text of the paper is available here
