Which of the Following is NOT a Target of Drugs

Question

Which of the following is NOT a target of drugs that inhibit protein synthesis?
A) the shape of the 30S ribosomal subunit
B) interference with alanine-alanine bridges
C) the enzymatic site of the 50S ribosomal subunit
D) movement of the ribosome from one codon to the next
E) the tRNA docking site

Accepted Answer

Drugs that inhibit protein synthesis target various aspects of ribosomal function, including the shape of the 30S ribosomal subunit, the enzymatic site of the 50S ribosomal subunit, movement of the ribosome from one codon to the next, and the tRNA docking site. However, interference with alanine-alanine bridges is not a target of these drugs.
