Antibiotics inhibit bacterial protein synthesis:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibiotics that inhibit bacterial protein synthesis do so by interfering with the accurate reading of the mRNA message, typically by binding to the 30S or 50S ribosomal subunits. Option A is incorrect because antibiotics don't typically disrupt cell membrane integrity. Option B is incorrect because 80S ribosomes are found in eukaryotic cells, not bacterial cells. Option D is incorrect because bacterial ribosomes consist of a 30S and 50S subunit, not a 60S subunit.
