Match the following antibiotics in Group I with their mode of action in Group II
Group I:
P. Chloramphenicol
Q. Norfloxacin
R. Puromycin
S. Rifampicin
Group II:
1. Binds to DNA gyrase
2. Binds to RNA Polymerase
3. Inhibits peptidyl transferase
4. Mimics aminoacyl-(tRNA**
(A) P-1, Q-3, R-2, S-4
(B) P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4
(C) P-3, Q-1, R-4, S-2
(D) P-4, Q-2, R-3, S-1
Answer
Answer: (B) P-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4
Chloramphenicol inhibits peptidyl transferase (P-3), Norfloxacin binds to DNA gyrase (Q-1), Puromycin mimics aminoacyl-tRNA (R-4), and Rifampicin binds to RNA polymerase (S-2).
