Structural insights into context-specific inhibition of bacterial translation by macrolides [PDF]
The ribosome’s peptidyl transferase center (PTC) catalyzes peptide bond formation during protein synthesis and is targeted by many antibiotic classes. Remarkably, macrolides that bind in the peptide exit tunnel some ~10 Å away from the PTC also remotely ...

The Peptidyl Transferase Center: a Window to the Past. [PDF]
In his 2001 article, “Translation: in retrospect and prospect,” the late Carl Woese made a prescient observation that there was a need for the then-current view of translation to be “reformulated to become an all-embracing perspective about which 21st century Biology can develop” (RNA 7:1055–1067, 2001, https://doi.org/10.1017 ...

The Photochemical Inactivation of Peptidyl Transferase Activity [PDF]
The photochemical oxidation of the 50‐S ribosomal subunit results in a rapid irreversible loss of peptidyl transferase activity. The first‐order rate of inactivation occurring during the first forty minutes suggests that a single reactive group is being inactivated.

Insights into substrate stabilization from snapshots of the peptidyl transferase center of the intact 70S ribosome. [PDF]
Protein synthesis is catalyzed in the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), located in the large (50S) subunit of the ribosome. No high-resolution structure of the intact ribosome has contained a complete active site including both A- and P-site tRNAs.
