Question
Chapter 5.SE, Problem 67AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
R or S configuration is to be assigned to Chloramphenicol.
Concept introduction:
Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic by inhibiting protein synthesis. It prevents protein chain elongation by inhibiting the peptidyl transfers activity of the bacterial ribosome. It specifically binds to A2451 and A2452 residues in the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing peptide bond formation.
