Abstract

The mode of action of amino acid antagonists of biological origin ist surveyed und the enzymatic reactions with which these antibiotics interfere are described, thus also elucidating the various roles of amino acids in cell physiology. Several organisms, including the antibiotic producer, possess molecular devices for conferring resistance to some of these substances. These antibiotics may be of further value as research tools in molecular biology.
