How It Works

Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex.

Mechanism Steps

1Minocycline enters bacterial cells via passive diffusion and active transport.

2Binds reversibly to the 30S ribosomal subunit.

3Prevents attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex.
