Summary of inhibition mechanisms of antibiotics impairing translocation. The inhibitory step for each antibiotic and the ability to halt (⊥) or slow down (ᛙ) the motions of ribosomal subunits during translocation is indicated. We consider a step as inhibited if it is >300-fold slower than in the absence of antibiotics.
