Cyclic peptides prepared by ring-closing metathesis bind at the S15 binding site in helix 22 of 16S ribosomal RNA from E. coli (Beal Group, Department of Chemistry).

The spherical animals shown here are colonies of the tropical ascidian,Didemnum molle. These ascidians are of medical, ecological, and biotechnological interest because of their symbiotic association with drug-producing bacteria.
