Prokaryotic organisms contain one type of rRNA gene that encodes three distinct RNA species: the 23S, 5S, and 16S rRNAs. In comparison, eukaryotic cells contain two types of rRNA genes that give ...
Large Subunit rRNAs: The large subunit in prokaryotes contains the 23S and 5S rRNAs, while in eukaryotes ... This discovery led to the concept of the ribosome as a ribozyme, an RNA molecule with ...
Macrolides bind reversibly to 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) of the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosome inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis. Clindamycin (a lincosamide) at subgrowth inhibitory ...
