Question

penicillins

sulfa drugs

bacitracin

beta-lactamases   

aminoglycosides

cephalosporins

break the beta-lactam ring, which inactivates beta-lactam drugs inhibit peptidoglycan synthesis by binding to the bacterial transpeptidase inhibit aerobic respiration inhibit folic acid synthesis by competing for the enzyme that carries out this process. niis prevent protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosome subunit inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis by preventing the dephosphorylation of bactorprenol, which is the carrier molecule that transports NAM-NAG unit

Explanation / Answer

Penicillin - inhibit peptidoglycan synthesis by binding to the bacterial transpeptidase.
Sulfa drugs- inhibit folic acid synthesis by competing fir the enzyme that carries out this process.
Bacitracin - inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis by preventing dephosphorylation of bactoprenol, which is carrier molecule that transports NAM-NAG unit.
Beta- lactamase - break the beta lactam ring which inactivates beta lactam drug
Aminoglycoside - prevent protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomes subunit.
Cephalosporin - inhibit aerobic respiration.
