|
Karamycin Mech of A
|
interacts with prokaryotic ribosomes.Induces mistranslation and indirectly inhibits translocation during protein synthesis.
|
|
Vancomycin Mech of A
|
prevents incorporation of N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) peptide subunits into the peptidoglycan matrix thus inhibiting cell wall formation
|
|
Gentamycin Mech of A
|
binds to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes thus interrupting protein synthesis
|
|
Bacitracin Mech of A
|
interferes with the dephosphorylation of the C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate, a molecule that carries the building-blocks of the peptidoglycan bacterial cell wall
|
|
Streptomycin Mech of A
|
binds to the S12 Protein of the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interfering with the binding of formyl-methionyl-tRNA to the 30S subunit, preventing protein synthesis
|
|
Rifampin/Rifampicin Mech of A
|
inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in bacterial cells by binding its beta-subunit, thus preventing transcription to RNA and protein syntyesis
|
|
Penicillin Mech of A
|
inhibits the formation of peptidoglycan cross-links in the bacterial cell wall
|
|
Erythromycin Mech of A
|
binding to the 50s subunit of the bacterial 70s rRNA complex, protein synthesis and subsequent structure and function processes critical for life or replication are inhibited
|
|
Nitrofurantoin Mech of A
|
Inhibits bacterial enzymes required for normal cell activity at low concentrations; inhibits normal cell-wall synthesis at high concentrations
|
|
Neomycin Mech of A
|
reacts with 30S ribosomal subunits of prokaryotic cells, thus interfering with protein synthesis
|
|
Lincomycin Mech of A
|
binds to 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes; suppresses protein synthesis;
