title: Binding of aminoglycoside antibiotics with modified A-site 16S rRNA construct containing non-nucleotide linkers.
abstract: The design and synthesis of synthetically modified cyclic A-site 16S rRNA construct is reported. The binding characteristics of several members of the aminoglycoside antibiotics with this novel class of synthetically modified A-site 16S rRNA constructs were subsequently investigated.
