Fig. 2. Cryo-EM structure of fidaxomicin binding to M. tuberculosis RNAP (PDB ID: 6FBV)18.

Fig. 2

a Fidaxomicin (cyan), protein (surface representation/gray). Interaction of C3”-OH with H2O. Limited space around isobutyric ester moiety. b Detailed view on the binding pocket of fidaxomicin’s noviose moiety. C3”-OH points toward an “open space.” C4”-isobutyric ester fits into its pocket. c Detailed view on the interactions of the noviose part to the protein. C2”-OH is blocked by an interaction with Arg412 (blue).
