Yes, very much so. Ribosomes in prokaryotes use a slightly different process to produce proteins than do ribosomes in eukaryotes. Fortunately, this difference presents a window of molecular attack by antibiotic drugs such as streptomycin.
Unfortunately, some bacterial toxins and the polio virus also use it to enable them to attack the
translation mechanism in our cells.

What can proteins made on ribosomes be further modified within?
Proteins made on ribosomes may be further modified within the golgi complex. If a toxin, such as bacterial toxin, destroys ribosomes but protein synthesis will be affected first.
The sites of protein synthesis are?
Ribosomes
What structure is responsible for synthesizing proteins?
ribosomes are responsible for the structure of protein synthesis.
Which part of a cell is the site of protein synthesis?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum(RER) is the site of protein synthesis ;while Ribosomes are the structures that synthesize the protein.
What is the site of protein synthesis called?
Ribosomes
If a toxin such as a bacterial toxin destroys ribosomes what cellular activity will be affected first?
protein syntheisis b/c DNA----> RNA----> proteins from ribosomes
What are the sites of protein synthesis in cells?
Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
What can proteins made on ribosomes be further modified within?
Proteins made on ribosomes may be further modified within the golgi complex. If a toxin, such as bacterial toxin, destroys ribosomes but protein synthesis will be affected first.
What do cell use ribosomes for?
Ribosomes are small ''protein factories'' for protein synthesis in cell. Therefore, cell use ribosomes for synthesis protein...
Is protein synthesis the same as ribosomes?
No, they are not the same thing. Ribosomes make proteins (protein synthesis).
What is the sight for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes are site of protein synthesis .
The sites of protein synthesis are?
Ribosomes
Function of free ribosomes?
Protein synthesis is taken place. Ribosomes provide surface for it
What does the ribosomes function in?
Protein synthesis is the process done by ribosomes. Ribosomes provide surface to synthesis.
What is the role of rRNA the protein synthesis?
it hold the protein synthesis in the ribosomes
Structure responsible for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes, are responsible for protein synthesis.
Where is the majority OF protein synthesis occurs?
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis
