“…21,22 Recent structural and biochemical studies have suggested a potential mechanism by which aminoglycosides achieve their antitranslational effects. 23,12,[24][25][26][27][28]13,29,14,19,30,15 According to this mechanism, A1492 and A1493 are in conformational equilibria between intrahelical and extrahelical states. When in their extrahelical states, both bases engage in interactions with minihelix formed by the mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon.…”
