Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Have Evolved a Unique Chemical Mechanism, New Discovery R... - 0 views

  • methylation -- a process by which enzymes add a small molecular tag to a particular location on a nucleotide -- a molecule that is the structural unit of RNA and DNA
  • facilitates the proper functioning of the bacterial ribosome -- a gigantic macromolecular machine that is responsible for making proteins that bacteria need to survive
  • antibiotics bind to the ribosome, disrupting its function and thereby killing the bacteria
