Product Information

• Name: Pactamycin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pactamycin is an antibiotic, which is a natural product derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces pactum. It operates by inhibiting protein synthesis through the interference with the initiation phase. Specifically, it disrupts the binding of initiator tRNA to the small ribosomal subunit, which is crucial for the initiation of translation, thereby halting cellular protein production.
