In this figure, the antibiotic chloramphenicol binds the 50S ribosome as shown. From this information, you can conclude that chloramphenicol
A researcher isolates mutant variants of the bacterial translation factors IF2, EF-Tu, and EF-G. In each case, the mutation allows proper folding of the protein and the binding of GTP but does not allow GTP hydrolysis. At what stage would translation be blocked by each mutant protein?
