Abstract
We describe experiments (A) on an antibiotic which binds to the 50S subunit of procaryotic ribosomes (chloramphenicol), (B) on an antibiotic which binds specifically to the 30S subunit (streptomycin), and (C) on a group of antibiotics whose binding sites are not yet well known (tetracycline and some of its derivatives).
