You discover a new antibiotic that inhibits translation. Upon futher investigation, you find that the antibiotic binds to the A site of the ribosome. What process of translation will most likely be inhibited?     Termination     Elongation     Initiation     Assembly

You are treating a patient suffering with wound botulism in which Clostridium botulinum grows in a wound and makes a protein exotoxin, botulinum toxin. In addition to surgery to clean the wound and providing botulinum antitoxin, you wish to give the patient antibiotics to stop the protein toxin synthesis immediately. Which of the following antibiotics would you NOT give your patient if you wished to immediately stop bacterial translation? (best answer) O macrolides, e.g. erythromycin O trimethoprim plus sulfa drugs e.g. sulfamethoxazole O chloroamphenicol tetracylines aminoglycosides e.g. gentamicin

When translation begins, the first amino acid heads to the small subunit of the ribosome.  What brings the amino acid there, and why does it interact with that specific part of the mRNA?

Find the events from prokaryotic translation from the list below and list them below in order, by letter, from earliest to latest during translation A. Incoming tRNA occupies the A-site B. Small ribosome binds to Shine Dalgarno sequence C. 5’ methyl cap binds small ribosome D. Large ribosome subunit binds the small ribosome subunit E. P-site tRNA peptide is attached to the amino acid of the A-site tRNA. F. f-Met tRNA binds to P site G. Small ribosomal subunit binds mRNA H. Peptide released from complex.

In the initiation of translation, the process always lines up at the start codon. What is the start codon? _______   What does the initiator tRNA do?   The subunits of the ______________ then bind together around the mRNA and initiator tRNA.

Which eukaryotic initiation factor (elF) brings the initiator tRNA to the ribosome? 0 0 0 elF1 elF3 elF4

Which of the following is NOT a protein that aids the ribosome during translation?Question 28 options: A) charging factor B) initiation factor C) release factor D) elongation factor

Describe the difference in translation initiation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

All of the following statements about translation are true except: Release factors recognize stop codons and prompt-cleavage of a peptide bond. Initiation factors are involved in ribosome assembly. In prokaryotes, initiator transfer RNA (tRNAf) is attached to formylmethionine. Each messenger RNA contains a start codon and a stop codon.
