: A is the 1st letter, thus aminoglycosides inhibit Initiation (the first step of translation) by preventing formation of the initiation complex.
ChloramPhenicol: the only one with a “P”, thus the only one inhibiting Peptide bond formation (by peptidyltransferase)
Macrolides: prevent the Movement of ribosomes (translocation)
Clindamycin: makes ribosomes Cling to mRNA (prevents translocation)
Tetracyclines (TTC): tRNA Tries but Can’t (prevents the aminoacyl-tRNA from attaching to the A site of the ribosome)
Lincomycin: Like erythromycin (prevents translocation)
Linezolid: Like an aminoglycoside (prevents initiation)
