Ribosomes Can Change Reading Frame during Translation

Ribosomes Can Change Reading Frame during Translation 

Translational fidelity of bacterial ribosomes is influenced in a more general way by the binding of antibiotics to the ribosome (box 29C). 

A great many antibiotic inhibitors of ribosome function belong to the class known as aminoglycoside antibiotics. Of these, streptomycin is the best known and the best investigated. Streptomycin binding produces a variety of 

The structures of some antibiotic inhibitors of protein synthesis. All of the inhibitors shown function by binding to specific sites on the ribosome.
