2'-Deoxy-L-guanosine is a nucleoside that shows antibiotic properties by inhibiting protein synthesis, leading to cell death. This is done by binding to the ribose phosphate backbone of DNA, phosphorylating it, and preventing the base pairing of adenosine with thymine. 2'-Deoxy-L-guanosine shows a high level of resistance against bacteria and is effective in the treatment of gram-positive bacteria.
