Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

textThe antibiotic azithromycin is used to treat many types of infections affecting the lungs, sinuses and skin. Azithromycin was once the market leader among antibiotics for respiratory tract infections, including Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis. It interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding and inhibiting the 50S ribosomal subunit (Retsema et al. 1997, Jelić & Antolović 2016, Mabe et al. 2004). Azithromycin exerts its antimicrobial activity by blocking the nascent protein exit tunnel. In contrast to other macrolides, two molecules of azithromycin bind simultaneously to the exit tunnel. The additional molecule also interacts with two proteins, L4 and L22, implicated in macrolide resistance (Schlünzen et al. 2003).
