D) Macrolides and quinolones

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Macrolides and tetracyclines allow for initiation and mRNA translation to begin, but they act by inhibiting peptide elongation. Aminoglycosides and glycopeptidians act by binding to the 30S or 50S ribosomal subunit and causing misreading of the mRNA, while quinolones act by inhibiting DNA synthesis.
