Publication number: 20110189689Abstract: The TPP riboswitch is a target for antibiotics, herbicides, algicides, fungicides and other utilities. The atomic structure of the binding pocket of the TPP riboswitch has been resolved. Compounds identified and optimized using this information can be used to stimulate, activate, inhibit and/or inactivate the TPP riboswitch.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2009Publication date: August 4, 2011Inventors: Nenad Ban, Stéphane Thore

Publication number: 20100312525Abstract: The invention provides methods for producing high resolution crystals of ribosomes and ribosomal subunits as well as crystals produced by such methods. The invention also provides high resolution structures of ribosomal subunits either alone or in combination with protein synthesis inhibitors. The invention provides methods for identifying ribosome-related ligands and methods for designing ligands with specific ribosome-binding properties as well as ligands that may act as protein synthesis inhibitors. Thus, the methods and compositions of the invention may be used to produce ligands that are designed to specifically kill or inhibit the growth of any target organism.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2010Publication date: December 9, 2010Inventors: Thomas A. Steitz, Peter B. Moore, Nenad Ban, Poul Nissen, Jeffrey Hansen, Joseph A. Ippolito

Patent number: 7504486Abstract: The present invention provides methods for producing high resolution crystals of ribosomes and ribosomal subunits as well as the crystals produced by such methods. The x-ray diffraction patterns of the crystals provided by the present invention are of sufficiently high resolution for determining the three-dimensional structure of ribosomes and ribosomal subunits, for identifying ligand binding sites on ribosomes and ribosomal subunits, and for molecular modeling of ligands which interact with ribosomes and ribosomal subunits. The present invention provides methods for identifying ribosome-related ligands and methods for designing ligands with specific ribosome-binding properties. Thus, the methods of the present invention may be used to produce ligands which are designed to kill or inhibit any specific target organism(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2003Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Yale UniversityInventors: Thomas A.
