Some classes of antibiotics do inhibit protein synthesis in bacterial ribosomes.
There is one antibiotic that could bear out your argument.
Rifampin: Inhibits RNA synthesis by inhibiting one of the enzymes (DNA-dependent RNA polymerase) needed in this process. RNA is needed to make proteins.
But this has no effect on protein synthesis in tRNA cells.
i agree they dont interfere with aas!
