How do antibiotics affect protein synthesis?
Generally not: antibiotics are essentially antibacterials, that is drugs counteracting bacterial infections like pneumonia, salmonella and the like. The specific mechanism of working of antibiotics depends on the specific drug under examination. Penicillin and its derivatives are bacterial killers: they enters into the bacteria membrane and inhibit basic bacteria life processes. A few of these processes are also related to bacteria proteins syntheses and, under this point of view, these class of antibiotics are also protein synthesis inhibitors. The important think to remember is that they inhibit, among other effects, the synthesis of bacterial proteins, not of the host (generally a human) protein syntheses. Other antibiotics inhibits bacteria multiplication by thwarting bacteria DNA splitting and replication. Also in this case, since many proteins are involved in the DNA replication process, bacteria proteins are involved, but the main antibiotics effect is to inhibit DNA replication.
Inhibitor of protein synthesis?
In prokaryotes tetracycline, chloremphenicol can inhibit protein synthesis. Puromycin is an antibiotic that inhibit both prokaryotic and eukaryotic protein synthesis. Each antibiotics has specific mode of action where it inhibits by binding, for example Chloremphenicol block the peptidyl transfer step.
Why do protein synthesis inhibitor a.k.a antibiotics affect bacteria only but not human cells?
most of the antibiotics kill or inactivate bacteria by inhibitting the protein synthesis... protein synthesis consists of 'transcription' and 'translation'.. the translation process requiers mRNA and ribosomes.Human(eukaryotic) ribosome is different from bacterial(prokaryotic) ribosome... Antibiotics inhibit the protein synthesis by altering the ribosomal constitution.Since human ribosomes are different from bacterial ribosome,the substances which are harmful to bacterial ribosome doesn't harm human ribosomes.. Thus human cells are immune to antibiotics..
What are the major targets for antibiotics?
The most successful antibiotics hit only three targets. The targets that are usually hit are the ribosome, cell wall synthesis and DNA gyrase.
Which antimicrobic does not inhibit cell wall synthesis?
gentamicin
Another term for DNA synthesis?
DNA synthesis is also known as DNA replication.
What is a following reactions that is used to radioactively label DNA?
Synthesis of new DNA.
What is the DNA process?
DNA synthesis or DNA replication
When DNA cynthesis occures?
Within the Cell cycle, Dna synthesis occurs during the S [synthesis] phase.
What catalyzes DNA synthesis?
DNA Polymerase
How would prevention of DNA synthesis affect mitosis?
There would not be enough DNA to put in daughter cells, since DNA synthesis is the replication of DNA.
