Which of the following antibiotic acts by competitively inhibiting the peptidyl transferase activity of prokaryotic ribosomes? Correct Answer Chloramphenicol

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts by competitively inhibiting the peptidyl transferase activity of prokaryotic ribosomes. It binds to the larger subunit, near the A site.
