Powerpoint 23 Flashcards
proteins are synthesized on
ribosome-inhibition of protein synthesis
differences in prokaryotic *(70s) and eukaryotic (80s) ribosomes are responsible for
selective toxicity
Drugs of the class of inhibition of protein synthesis include
Aminoglycosides Tetecyclines Macrolides Chloramphenicol Lincosamides Oxazolidinones Streptogramins
block the initiation of translation and cause the misreading of mRNA
Aminoglucosides
Block the attachment of tRNA to the ribosome
Tetracyclines
Each interferes with a distinct step of protein synthesis
Streptogramins
Prevent the continuation of protein synthesis
Macrolides & Lincosamides
Prevents peptide bonds from being formed
Chloramphenicol
Interfere with the initiation of protein synthesis
Oxazolidinones
Reversibly bind to the 30s ribosomal subunit
Tetracyclines
Blocks attatchment of tRNA to ribosome
-prevents continuation of protein synthesis
Tetracyclines
effective against certain gram -and gram +
Tetracyclines
Newer one such as doxycycline have a longer half life
Tetracyclines
resistance in these is due to decreased accumulation by bacterial cells
Tetracyclines
reversibly binds to 50s ribosome
Macrolides
