In the absence of the drug, this polynucleotide directs the synthesis of the peptide met–phe–phe–phe. when the drug is added, only the peptide met–phe is produced. based on this observation, which is most likely the mechanism of action of this potential new antibiotic?

Explanation:

Antibiotics are the drugs that is responsible for killing the harmful microorganism that enters the body of the organism.

The bacteria enters the body through different routes and the antibiotics recognizes it and kills the bacteria and microorganism.

There are different mechanism by which the antibiotics work in the body. It translocates the large ribosomal subunit, which will prevent the movement of peptidyl -tRNA.

This will occur from A site to the P site of the Ribosome.
