KROK 1 2013 – Question 123 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Infectious diseases are treated with antibiotics (streptomycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol). They inhibit the following stage of protein synthesis:
- A. Splicing
- B. Replication
- C. Translation
- D. Transcription
- E. Processing
Hint
These antibiotics bind to components of the bacterial protein-making machinery, so ask which step of gene expression that machinery carries out and which steps use other enzymes.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
