โฆ Synopsis
Direct liquid introduction negative ion mass spectra have been studied for some kirromycin class antibiotics. A scheme for the interpretation of the mass sju!&al fragmentation patterns is presented and shown to be useful for structure elucidation and novelty determination. Since these spectra are obtained by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, antibiotic isolates need not be highly purified. However, where pure preparations are available confirmation of molecular weight assignments may be obtained with fast atom bombardment ionization.
a macromolecule which assists in peptide chain elongation. The specific mechanism of action of kirromycin has been studied in Literature reports of related antibiotics continue to appear5-' and the more general name 'ELFbYcin' is often used to d e ~r i b e antibiotics which bind EFTu in a way similar to kirromycin.
EFTu interaction is used as a target criterion for the
