Product Information
Name:Blasticidin S
Brand:Biosynth
Description: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.
