Inhibition Of Protein Synthesis

Inhibition Of Protein Synthesis - Inhibition of protein synthesis is the most frequent mode of antibiotic action. Antibiotics and other inhibitors block protein synthesis in various steps. One way of classifying inhibitors of protein synthesis is based on their site of action: supernatant, the 30S /40S subunit and the 50S /60S subunit. Inhibitors may inhibit protein synthesis in prokaryotes, eukaryotes or both. Prokaryote inhibitors, in general, block protein synthesis in bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts.

There are, however exceptions to this generalization. Thus erythromycin, lincomycin and paromomycin inhibit bacterial protein synthesis: but not synthesis in rat liver mitochondria. Inhibitors of, eukaryote protein synthesis generally inhibit protein synthesis in cells having 80S ribosomes.
