Question
Answer
What do antibiotics do?   -affect protein synthesis -interact W cell membrane -useful for ones that target bacteria wall  
🗑
what antibiotic targets bacteria wall?   -penicillin  
🗑
Effects of penicillin   -bacteria osmotically unstable -lyse  
🗑
Park nucleotides   -UDP W NAMA(short peptide) & NAG  
🗑
UTP   -carrier of glycopeptides -form rigid wall of bacteria
