Figure 3. . Point mutations in gyrase confer resistance to fluoroquinolones.

Figure 3. 

(A) Chemical structures of moxifloxacin and GSK299423 (B) the crystal structure of gyrase (purple) bound to DNA (backbone shown in orange) and two copies of GSK299423 (cyan) from PDB ID: 2XCS [23]. The figure shows a superposition of moxifloxacin (green) from PDB ID: 3FOF [22]. Typical resistance mutations are shown in magenta.
