Small-molecule inhibitor leads of ribosome-inactivating proteins developed using the doorstop approach.

Small-molecule inhibitor leads of ribosome-inactivating proteins developed using the doorstop approach.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxic because they bind to 28S rRNA and depurinate a specific adenine residue from the α-sarcin/ricin loop (SRL), thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Shiga-like toxins (Stx1 and Stx2), produced by Escherichia coli, are RIPs that cause outbreaks of foodborn...
