The evolution of substrate discrimination in macrolide antibiotic resistance enzymes

New antibiotics with reduced potential for resistance are urgently needed. Here, the authors use a multidisciplinary approach to characterize substrate discrimination in macrolide resistance kinases and present a strategy for the prediction of mutations that expand the substrate range of antibiotic-...
