Produktinformation

• Name: Pikromycin
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Pikromycin is an antibiotic, which is derived from the bacterium *Streptomyces venezuelae*. It functions by specifically binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. This action effectively blocks peptide chain elongation, leading to the cessation of bacterial growth and proliferation. Pikromycin serves as an important model compound in antibiotic research, particularly in the study of macrolides and polyketides, due to its unique structure and biosynthetic pathway.
