  1. Protein synthesis in bacteria can be divided into four main steps: initiation, elongation, termination, and ribosome recycling. Two of these steps—initiation and elongation—are targeted by numerous antibiotics.

  2. Aug 3, 2023 · Some antibacterial classes inhibit bacterial protein synthesis by interfering with the 30s or 50s subunit. Antibiotics target three different steps which include initiation, formation of the 70s, and elongation process of making polypeptides.

  3. Dec 24, 2022 · In general, protein synthesis inhibitors work at different stages of prokaryotic mRNA translation into proteins like initiation, elongation (including aminoacyl tRNA entry, proofreading, peptidyl transfer, and ribosomal translocation), and termination. The following is a list of common antibacterial drugs and the stages which they target.

  4. May 4, 2010 · Bactericidal antibiotics target a diverse set of biomolecules for inhibition to achieve cell death, including DNA topoisomerases (involved in modulating DNA topology), RNA polymerase (involved in...
