Kanamycin sulphate

Kanamycin Monosulfate is an aminoglycoside bacteriocidal antibiotic which acts as an inhibitor of protein biosynthesis by producing a misreading of the 70s-ribosome.
Kanamycin Monosulfate used in biotechnology applications to inhibit protein synthesis. It is also used as a selection agent for cells transformed with kanamycin B (neoR, kanR) resistance gene.
Mode of Action: Binds to 70S ribosomal subunit; inhibits translocation; elicits miscoding. Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and mycoplasma.
