Blasticidin S

Description:
Blasticidin S is an antibiotic compound produced by the bacterium *Streptomyces griseochromogenes*. It is primarily known for its ability to inhibit protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, making it a valuable tool in molecular biology and genetic research. The compound functions by binding to the ribosomal RNA, disrupting the translation process. Blasticidin S is particularly effective against certain strains of bacteria and fungi, and it has been utilized in laboratory settings for selecting genetically modified cells that have acquired resistance to the antibiotic. The substance is characterized by its relatively low toxicity to mammalian cells at appropriate concentrations, which allows for its use in various experimental applications. Additionally, Blasticidin S is soluble in water and exhibits stability under acidic conditions, although it can be degraded by alkaline environments. Its unique properties make it an important reagent in the fields of microbiology and genetic engineering.

  • Blasticidin S

    CAS:
    <p>Blasticidin S is an antibiotic, which is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces griseochromogenes*. It operates by inhibiting protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. This inhibition is achieved by interfering with the peptide bond formation in the ribosome, thus preventing the elongation of the polypeptide chain. Blasticidin S is particularly useful in molecular biology and cell culture applications, where it is employed to selectively kill non-transformed cells. This allows for the maintenance and expansion of cells that have been stably transfected with a blasticidin resistance gene, thereby ensuring the selection and propagation of cells with the desired genetic modifications. Its precise mechanism and specific action make Blasticidin S a valuable tool for researchers working on gene expression studies, recombinant protein production, and other genetic engineering endeavors.</p>
