Product Information

• Name: Oligomycin B
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Oligomycin B is an antibiotic compound, which is derived from Streptomyces species. It is an inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex, specifically targeting the F₀ subunit of ATP synthase. This action obstructs the proton channel, preventing the flow of protons across the mitochondrial membrane. As a result, Oligomycin B effectively halts ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation, which is crucial for the survival of aerobic organisms.
