The rotating image below shows the structure of the 50S subunit from Deinococcus radiodurans together with Chloramphenicol (purple), Clindamycin (orange) und Erythromycin (Makrolide, red). Of course, the compound where not bound simultaneously. To indicate the ribosomal tunnel within the 50S subunit, we modelled a yellow polypetide chain from the peptidyl transferase centre to the tunnel exit.
