Abstract: Among the >120 modified ribonucleosides in the prokaryotic epitranscriptome, many tRNA modifications are critical to bacterial survival, which makes their synthetic enzymes ideal targets for antibiotic development. Here we performed a structure-based design of inhibitors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1261/rna.066746.118
Abstract: The tRNA (m1G37) methyltransferase TrmD catalyzes m1G formation at position 37 in many tRNA isoacceptors and is essential in most bacteria, which positions it as a target for antibiotic development. In spite of its crucial… read more here.
