There are a large number of antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis at 70s ribosomes found in bacterial cells but do not interfere with protein synthesis at the 80s ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells. some of these antibiotics bind to the smaller ribosomal subunit and interfere with the reading of the mrna code, whereas others bind to the larger ribosomal subunit and inhibit the formation of peptide bonds. unfortunately, some of the antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria exhibit some toxicity to the eukaryotic host cells as well. what is the most likely reason for this toxicity to the host cell?
