Complexes of Quinolone Antibiotics and DNA
Quinolone antibiotics are widely used in the clinic. They inhibit the re-sealing of the DNA after cleavage by a gyrase, thus turning a topoisomerase into a nuclease. Three-dimensional structures of covalent quinolone-DNA complexes have been elucidated by NMR and restrained molecular dynamics.
