Ribosome with binding site (insert) (IMAGE)
Caption
This image shows the structure of the C. albicans ribosome, with the insert showing inhibitor CHX (purple structure) in the ribosome E-site. The original structure is in blue and the structure with the proline to glutamine mutation in beige. The mutation reduces the size of the binding space, causing a clash of the inhibitor with the ribosome that prevents it from binding.
