Erythromycin is an inhibitor of protein synthesis. It acts by:
1
binding to 30S subunit of bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs.
2
binding to 50S subunit of bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting translocation.
3
inhibits peptidyl transferase activity of eukaryotic 60S ribosomal subunit.
4
causes premature chain termination by acting as an analog of aminoacyl-tRNA in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
