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.

How do protein synthesis inhibitors work?

A protein synthesis inhibitor stops or slows cell growth by stopping the process that leads to the development of new proteins. The inhibitors work through various stages of the prokaryotic translation into proteins. These stages are elongation (which includes proofreading), initiation and termination.


What is the product of protein synthesis?

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..

Why protein synthesis?

Protein synthesis-growth====its the process in how we grow, how characteristics are brought out in us e.g. an enxyme in your stomach digests protein. If protein synthesis didnt produce this we wouldntdigest protein. Same goes for everythng else.
