Review Question - QID 210400

Protein Synthesis Ribosome Catalytic sites QID: 210400 (M1.OMB.18.4709)
In scope icon N/A B
QID 210400 (Type "210400" in App Search)
A pharmaceutical company has modified one of its existing antibiotics to have an improved toxicity profile. The new antibiotic blocks protein synthesis by first entering the cell and then binding to active ribosomes. The drug is covalently bonded to the existing growing peptide chain via peptidyl transferase, thereby impairing the rest of protein synthesis and leading to early polypeptide truncation. Where is the most likely site that this process occurs?
