Exercise 11

Figure 15.16 Many antibiotics inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. For example, tetracycline blocks the A site on the bacterial ribosome, and chloramphenicol blocks peptidyl transfer. What specific effect would you expect each of these antibiotics to have on protein synthesis? Tetracycline would directly affect:
A) tRNA binding to the ribosome
B) ribosome assembly
C) growth of the protein chain
Chloramphenicol would directly affect
A) tRNA binding to the ribosome
B) ribosome assembly
C) growth of the protein chain.
