Macròlids: mecanismes d'acció i de resistència [PDF]
Els macròlids són agents descrits per primera vegada als anys cinquanta, molt emprats en el tractament de microorganismes grampositius. Actuen al ribosoma, unint-se de manera reversible a la subunitat 50S. Actualment se'n coneixen diferents mecanismes de

The combined effects of pH and acetonitrile composition on the separation of two lincosamide antibiotics [PDF]
Objective: Reversed-phase chromatography has become the method of choice to separate compounds that are similar in structure to each other. Selectivity, resolution and retention time can be improved by controlling different variants.
