In order to develop antibiotics, scientists need to understand how bacteria grow and reproduce. One factor that is essential for bacterial growth and reproduction is protein synthesis. By understanding how bacteria synthesize proteins, scientists can then attempt to develop antibiotics that block bacterial protein synthesis during an infection. Which of the following questions will best direct an investigation on how to develop an antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria?
A. How can the formation of covalent bonds between amino acids be blocked?
B. How can the formation of hydrogen bonds between amino acids be blocked?
C. How can the phosphate end of the growing polypeptide chain be blocked?
D. How can the hydroxyl end of the growing polypeptide chain be blocked?
