Description

2,6-Diaminohexanoic acid is an antibiotic that has been shown to have activity against strains of bacteria resistant to other antibiotics. The 2,6-diaminohexanoic acid binds to the ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 30S subunit and blocking the entry of aminoacyl tRNA into the A site. It also binds to cell nuclei and causes lysis. 2,6-Diaminohexanoic acid has been shown to be toxic in a mouse model system and is therefore not used as an antibiotic in humans.
