Scientific context
Puromycin is an antibiotic that is a protein synthesis inhibitor that causes premature chain termination during translation taking place in the ribosome. Part of the molecule resembles the 3’ end of the tRNA. It enters the A site and transfers to the growing chain, causing the premature release. It is not selective for either prokaryotes or eukaryotes.

Additional description
Tissue, pathway, proteinase, peptidase, protease ,acrosin, lipoprotein, activator, caspase, trypsin, papain, esterase inhibitors are proteins or receptor ligands or receptor antagonists that bind to an enzyme receptor and decreases its activity. Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. Not all receptor antagonist that bind to enzymes are inhibitors; enzyme activator ligands or agonists bind to enzymes and increase their enzymatic activity, while enzyme substrates bind and are converted to products in the normal catalytic cycle of the enzyme.
