The problems are often very similar, no matter if you're a growing polypeptide chain passing the ribosomal tunnel or a car/bus in a small tunnel.
Die NANO-Welt
The ribosomal exit tunnel in the 50S subunit.
Macrolides block the path for the nascent peptide chain, which usually won't pass the antibiotic.
Die MACRO-Welt
The Homer Tunnel in New Zealand (South Island).

Just imagine you're in the middle of a dark, wet and not really straight tunnel and a bus (or truck) is coming at you.

Well, you won't really block the tunnel but hope to find one of the few gaps to let the Bus pass (which usually has to drive in the middle of the tunnel).

(Ok, this is a faked image, we had luck, both times.)

The sometimes funny truth about science:
Really worth readíng: Comments and analyses on science in Jeff's Views, written by Gottfried ('Jeff') Schatz, open access published in FEBS-Letters.( only)
Another periodic commentary you can find, mostly written by 'Mole', in the 'Sticky Wickets', open access published in the Journal of Cell Science. ( only)
